The three-month extension gives eligible employers and insured persons more time to settle specified legacy disputes and reduce litigation.

The scheme is extended through 31 December 2026; eligible court cases filed up to 31 March 2025 can be covered subject to terms.

For civil-services preparation, focus on implementation, evidence, institutional capacity and policy trade-offs rather than only the announcement.
