§ (2.) The Military ManŒuvres Commission shall, with the concurrence of the Treasury, appoint a compensation officer or compensation officers to determine as speedily as possible any 20 claim for compensation under this Act, and settle the amount payable.
§ (3.) The Commission may make regulations with respect to the procedure for making and determining claims for compensation, for limiting the time within which claims must be made, and for regulating the mode in which compensation is to be paid.
§ (4.) If the amount of compensation is not settled by agreement between the compensation officer and the claimant, the difference between them shall be referred to arbitration, and for this purpose the service in manner directed by the regulations of a notice of claim for compensation shall be treated as a submission to arbitration within the meaning of the Arbitration Act 1889, and that Act shall apply accordingly.
