Synopsis

Excerpt from The Workmen's Compensation Act: With Explanatory Notes and Decisions

This Act is in many respects a great improvement on the Act of 1897, though some mistakes might have been avoided had time permitted a more thorough consideration of some of its provisions. It transcends the Bill of 1905 in that it proceeds by way of consolidation instead of reference. It is occasionally and inevitably marred through the fault of our system of government by Party, when bad laws have to be assented to in order to obtain good ones. Though many of the litigious expressions used in the old Act have been discarded there remain a number that might well have received statutory definition. It will be seen that the Legislature has traded at good deal on case-law, there being cited in this little book no less than 120 cases from the Court of Appeal alone.
