Repayment of contributions.

[1942 IU, s. 23]

246.—Any weekly contributions paid by a person and his employer respectively under the erroneous belief that the weekly contributions were payable in respect of that person under this Part may be returned to them by the Minister on application being made to him in that behalf in such form as he may require before the expiration of 12 months from the date the weekly contributions were paid, subject, in the case of the insured person's contributions, to the deduction of any amount of supplementary benefit received by him to which he would not have been entitled if these weekly contributions had not been paid.
