In the event of the death of a claimant or of a person who, if he had survived, could have been a claimant, the claim for compensation under these Regulations may be continued or made (as the case may be) by his legal personal representative.

Where any such claim is continued or made as aforesaid by a personal representative, the personal representative shall, as respects any steps to be taken or thing to be done by him in order to continue or make the claim, be deemed for the purposes of these Regulations to be the claimant, but, save as aforesaid, the person in right of whom he continues or makes the claim shall be deemed for all purposes of these Regulations to be the claimant, and the relevant provisions of these Regulations shall be construed accordingly.

In applying the provisions of Regulation 24 to a case where a claim has been continued or made as aforesaid by a personal representative, account may be taken as well of statements made by or on behalf of the personal representative himself as of statements made by or on behalf of the person in right of whom he has continued or made the claim.
