Article 34 Contracting-out schemes

In relation to a person whose workmen's compensation is or was compensation under a contracting-out scheme, section 3(4) and (7) of the Act (which relates to the amount of a person's workmen's compensation) and articles 2, 4, 5 and 6 of this scheme shall apply subjectF1, where appropriate, to the modification that, where by reason of the nature of the provisions of the contracting-out scheme—

the amount of his workmen's compensation shall be taken to be such an amount as is reasonable in his case, having regard to the provisions of the contracting-out scheme and to the amount of the weekly payment by way of workmen's compensation which would, but for the contracting-out scheme, have been payable to him in respect of the relevant injury or disease.
