89  Effect of closing eligibility to VEA on pending claims and applications
 (1) This section applies if:
 (a) before the date of commencement, a claim or an application was made under the VEA; and
 (b) immediately before that date, the claim or application had not been finally determined; and
 (c) the claim or application is of a kind that could not be made on or after that date because of the operation of section 12AA of the VEA, as inserted by Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Simplification Act.
 (2) To avoid doubt, section 12AA of the VEA does not affect the continued operation of other provisions of that Act, as in force on and after the date of commencement, in relation to the determination of the claim or application (including any reconsideration or review of a decision made in relation to that claim or application).
 (3) This section is subject to sections 106, 110 and 112 of this Act.
Note: Under sections 106, 110 and 112 of this Act, certain pending claims and applications made under the old VEA are taken, on and after the date of commencement, to be claims for compensation made under section 319 of the MRCA or applications made under certain other provisions of the MRCA.
