171H DI fund manager may act (1) This section applies to a claim for payment if the claim was made by a person eligible to make the claim under section 170E, section 170F or section 170G. Note Under s 170E, s 170F and s 170G, the employer’s liability is not covered by a compulsory insurance policy. (2) The DI fund manager may treat the claim for payment as having been made against the DI fund if— (a) the manager receives a copy of the claim under section 171G; or (b) the manager is otherwise satisfied that it is reasonably likely that there is no compulsory insurance policy in force that applies to the claim.
