Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Workmen's Compensation Appeals 1910-11: A Critical Commentary on the Workmen's Compensation Case Law for the Past Legal, Year and Brought Up to Date to the Time of Publication
A still more important matter, that of the compensation to be paid in the case of partial dependency, has now been put on a sounder basis by the decision in The Tamworth Colliery Co. V. Hall, which practically decides - a rare and happy conclusion that for once the Act means what it says. Then another great question that has been much discussed is what is the meaning to be given to the phrase able to earn when fixing the weekly payment in the case of partial incapacity. But in this, as in many other matters under this Act, it is far easier to state the law than to apply it. So at the present moment it remains open what agreement employers should make to avoid any question under sect. 1 (3) being left outstanding with the consequent risk of arbitration proceedings being forced upon them with their attendant worry and expense. The point came before the Court of Appeal, but was left undecided, as the matter went off on a side issue. Perhaps it is as well, for the question is so far-reaching that it is desirable it should be fully argued in a test case rather than be summarily dealt with in a somewhat unimportant appeal. Here we might mention other cases, but as the one all important case to the practitioner is the one he wants we will now leave the subject, trusting we have put him in the best way of finding exactly what he requires with the least possible trouble and in the least possible time.
