Summary:

Ceased work 6-85. Interruption of earnings in 10-86. Claim filed in 5-87. Umpire's decision quashed: the qualifying period was the 52 weeks preceding 17-5-87 rather than 26-10-86. The new ground for extension added on 5-4-87 is applicable to the qualifying period. Assuming that the qualifying period ended in 10-86, as the Umpire wrongly assumed, that period could not have been extended under new ss. 7(3) effective 5-4-87, as it could not affect the length of a qualifying period already expired.
