Excerpt from Workmen's Compensation Insurance: With a Summary of the Statutory Law Relating Thereto
The object of this volume is to set forth in handy and compendious form suitable for the use of students, the principles and practice of workmen's compensation insurance. NO attempt has been made tonglve a detailed exposition of the law on the subject, but a sum mary is given of the principal provisions of the relative statutes for convenience of reference and as an aid to the due understanding of the principles underlying this branch of insurance business.
The subject has been treated as it stands at the present time, and without reference to any projected alterations in the law. The course of political events makes it unlikely that the revision Of the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1906, recommended in the Report of the Royal Commission appointed in 1920 to consider the matter, will materialize for some considerable tirne.
