# The Social Security (Malta) Order 1996, Paragraph: Article 26 General Provisions


(1) Where a person is employed in the territory of one Party and the legislation of the other Party applies to him in accordance with any of the provisions of Articles 6 to 10, he shall be treated under that legislation for the purpose of any claim to benefit in respect of an industrial accident or an industrial disease contracted during that employment, as if the accident had occurred or the disease had been contracted in the territory of the latter Party. Where benefit would be payable in respect of that claim if the person were in the territory of the latter Party, it shall be payable while he is in the territory of the former Party.
(2) Where a person leaves the territory of one Party to go in the course of his employment to the territory of the other Party, but before he arrives in the latter territory sustains an accident, then, for the purpose of any claim for benefit in respect of that accident:
(a) the accident shall be treated as if it had occurred in the territory of the Party whose legislation applied to him at the time the accident occurred; and
(b) his absence from the territory of that Party shall be disregarded in determining whether his employment was as an employed person under that legislation.
(3) Where a seasonal worker who is entitled to industrial injury benefit under the legislation of Guernsey goes to Malta, he shall be entitled to continue to receive such benefit for a period of not more than 13 weeks from the date of departure from Guernsey.
(4) Where, because of a death resulting from an industrial accident or an industrial disease, a benefit would be payable under the legislation of one Party in respect of a child if that child were in the territory of that Party, that benefit shall be payable while the child is in the territory of the other Party.
