### 137 Weekly payments to be continued during proceedings for damages
> Subject to [section 89](#GS89@EN) , where a worker who is entitled under this Act to weekly payments during his incapacity takes proceedings independently of this Act for damages for the injury in respect of which he is entitled to receive those weekly payments, his employer shall, pending the determination of those proceedings, pay or, as the case requires, continue to pay to the worker all such weekly payments to which the worker is so entitled as if those proceedings had not been taken.
