Once a compensation application has been dismissed or partly granted, what is the applicant barred from doing next?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In practice material of this kind, we read the written decision that disposed of the compensation application, because its operative part shows whether it was dismissed in whole or only in part, and the judgment if the decision was carried into the operative part of the guilty verdict. Any later application papers are read to see whether the same application is being made again.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading takes the bar on its own terms: where the court has dismissed a compensation application, or granted it in part, the applicant may not seek review of that decision and may not make the same compensation application again, and the provision attaches this to the applicant alone.
Another reading notes that the bar is written for a decision that dismisses the application or grants part of it, so a decision granting the application in full falls outside its words, and the provision leaves open how that outcome may be challenged, or what makes a later application the "same" one.
Your judgment
When a later application rests on facts partly covered by a dismissed one, what in the papers shows whether it is the same application?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to reach other outcomes or the respondent's recourse, or if a court decision states when a later compensation application counts as the same one.
