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.
