U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 949. Effect of unconstitutionality
If any part of this chapter is adjudged unconstitutional by the
courts, and such adjudication has the effect of invalidating any
payment of compensation under this chapter, the period intervening
between the time the injury was sustained and the time of such
adjudication shall not be computed as a part of the time prescribed
by law for the commencement of any action against the employer in
respect of such injury; but the amount of any compensation paid
under this chapter on account of such injury shall be deducted from
the amount of damages awarded in such action in respect of such
injury.
