149Compensation orders—other orders and awards

149 Compensation orders—other orders and awards (1) A compensation order must not be made if another court or tribunal has awarded compensatory damages or compensation in a civil proceeding for the damage based on the same or similar facts. (2) If a court purports to make a compensation order in the circumstances mentioned in subsection (1)— (a) the order is void to the extent that it covers the same matters as those covered by the other award; and (b) any payment made under the order to the extent to which it is void must be repaid by the Territory. (3) The making of a compensation order does not prevent another court or tribunal from later awarding damages or compensation in a civil proceeding for the damage based on the same or similar facts, but the other court or tribunal must take the compensation order into account when awarding damages or compensation.
