** Jan 8, 2019 / by [Mary Muir](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/author/mary-muir) posted in [Insurance law Fiji](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/topic/insurance-law-fiji), [Accident in Fiji](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/topic/accident-in-fiji), [Fiji commercial law](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/topic/fiji-commercial-law), [Commercial law Fiji](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/topic/commercial-law-fiji), [Fiji commercial lawyers](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/topic/fiji-commercial-lawyers), [personal injury Fiji](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/topic/personal-injury-fiji), [accident and compensation Fiji](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/topic/accident-and-compensation-fiji)

 On Christmas Eve, 2018, the Fiji Government Gazette published a notice of commencement for the Workmen’s Compensation (Repeal) Act 2018, along with an amendment to the Schedule for the Accident Compensation Act adding accidents arising out of and in the course of employment and accidents occurring on school premises or during school events to those covered by the Accident Compensation Act.

In July 2018 we provided an update on the Workmen's Compensation (Repeal) Act which can be found [here](https://www.sas.com.fj/commercial-law-updates/brave-new-world-for-workmens-compensation-claims-what-does-this-mean-for-employers-and-employees) - this update explained how it would work but it is important for employers and schools to understand the legal implications of the new Act and Regulations.

In this commercial law update we provide a brief update on the effect of the new law and regulations.
