1124.This section defines three labels related to the employee’s various possible residences, including a definition of “residence” itself. The section derives from section 191B(16) of ICTA and paragraph 25 of Schedule 11A to ICTA.

1126.Subsection (2) defines “former residence” and “new residence”.

1127.Subsection (3) defines what is meant by “an interest in a residence”.
