Section 99 - Appeal against order of competent authority

Employee compensation appeals require a substantial question of law, monetary threshold, deposit condition, and a 60 day deadline.

Appeal to the High Court is permitted from specified competent authority orders on compensation awards, interest or damages, redemption refusals, distribution among dependants, indemnity claims and registration of memoranda; appeals require a substantial question of law and, except for redemption refusals, a prescribed monetary threshold, are barred where parties agreed to abide by the authority's decision or the order reflects such agreement, an employer's appeal must be accompanied by a certificate of deposit of the payable amount, and the limitation period is sixty days with the Limitation Act applying.
