Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

This Order amends the Foreign Compensation (Hungary) Order 1963, as previously amended. Its purposes are:—

  1. (i)

    to enable the Foreign Compensation Commission to make increased payments of compensation to claimants from the Hungarian Compensation Fund when moneys are available in the Fund for this purpose; and

  2. (ii)

    to increase the limit of the amount which, in cases where the claimant has died, may be paid to beneficiaries without requiring a grant of administration of the deceased's estate to be obtained in the United Kingdom.
