263C To whom provisional payments under this Division are to be paid (1) Provisional payments under this Division must be made to a person lawfully entitled to the payment. (2) If the liability to the person lawfully entitled to payment of the costs specified in section 263B(1) has already been discharged in whole or in part by a payment by the worker or any other person whether legally liable to make the payment or not, the amount by which the liability has been so discharged must be paid to the worker or other person who made the payment. (3) If a worker is entitled to any of the services specified in section 263B(1) free of charge or at a reduced rate or charge because the worker— (a) entered into any prior contract, agreement or arrangement; or (b) was a contributor or subscriber to any institution, fund or scheme— the payment in respect of those services must not be reduced but, after payment of the amount, if any, actually owing to the person lawfully entitled to payment, the balance of the reasonable cost must be paid to the worker. (4) The payment of the whole of the reasonable costs of any service specified in section 263B(1) wholly and finally discharges the worker and any other person from all liability whatsoever in respect of those costs.
