If a workman receiving a half-monthly payment ceases to reside in the Islands, he shall thereupon cease to be entitled to receive any half-monthly payment, unless the medical referee certifies that the incapacity resulting from the injury is likely to be of a permanent nature.
If the medical referee so certifies, and the injury is likely to result in a diminished earning capacity then the half-monthly payments shall be redeemed by a lump sum which shall be subject to this Law and which, in default of agreement, shall be settled by the Court.
Notwithstanding subsection (1), if the medical referee certifies that a workman is, by reason of injury, unfit for work for a period specified in the certificate and such workman ceases to reside in the Islands during that period, any half-monthly payments, or balance of such payments, that may be due or may become due to him in respect of such period shall be redeemed by a lump sum.
