173AExample periods for those injured as continuous full‑time Reservists

173A  Example periods for those injured as continuous full‑time Reservists  (1) For the purposes of the definition of example period in sections 172 and 173 for an incapacitated person who was a continuous full‑time Reservist when the service injury was sustained, or the service disease was contracted, the Commission may determine, as the end of the example period, a time before the person last ceased to be a member of the Defence Force (instead of a time before the person began his or her last period of continuous full‑time service).  (2) If the Commission does so, a reference in sections 171, 172 and 173 to a time before the person began his or her last period of continuous full‑time service is taken instead to be a reference to a time before the person last ceased to be a member of the Defence Force.
