80 Effect of registration of agreements
(1) A worker with a registered agreement in relation to a loss or the
commutation of a right is not entitled to receive any additional
compensation for the loss or commutation of the right under an award
of the Magistrates Court.
(2) However, the Magistrates Court may award additional compensation
if satisfied that—
(a) the agreement was obtained by fraud or undue influence; or
(b) the agreed amount of compensation was manifestly inadequate.

further loss suffered after the loss to which the agreement relates.
