# The London Government Reorganisation (Staff Compensation) Order 1988, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
The Greater London Council had power, under section 75 of the London Government Act 1963, to pay compensation to its officers or their dependants in respect of injuries sustained at work. This Order enables the London Residuary Body to make payments in respect of similar claims made before 5th October 1988, to the extent that it is not already able to do so under existing powers. In exercising the new power the Residuary Body is required to apply the same principles as were applied by the abolished council when considering claims under section 75.
