( Part 4 enacted by Stats. 1937, Ch. 90. ) CHAPTER 2. Limitations of Proceedings [5400 - 5413]
( Chapter 2 enacted by Stats. 1937, Ch. 90. ) 5404.
Unless compensation is paid within the time limited in this chapter for the institution of proceedings for its collection, the right to institute such proceedings is barred. The timely filing of an application with the appeals board by any party in interest for any part of the compensation defined by Section 3207 renders this chapter inoperative as to all further claims by such party against the defendants therein named for compensation arising from that injury, and the right to present such further claims is governed by Sections 5803 to 5805, inclusive.
(Amended by Stats. 1965, Ch. 1513.)
