Limitation of time for application
16No compensation is payable under this Part in respect of any accident, unless application for such compensation is made within one year after the occurrence of the accident, or in case of death within six months from the time of death, but notwithstanding anything contained in this section, the Commission may pay the claim if in its opinion the claim is a just one and ought to be allowed.
