A claimant acquires a vested right of action, but not a vested right to the civil court forum; once the Claims Tribunal is constituted, civil court jurisdiction is excluded and the claim must be pursued before the Tribunal. The limitation period under section 110A(3) cannot be applied to defeat that forum change where no application could be filed before the Tribunal came into existence, and the interval between the accident and constitution of the Tribunal is not treated as applicant-caused delay.
