SEPARATE COURT?
COMPENSATION GASES. NO CONSIDERATION YET. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Detailed consideration has not jet been given by the Government to the question of appointing a separate Court to deal with compensation cases under the Workers' Compensation Act, according to a statement, made by the Minister of Labour, the Hon. H. T. Armstrong. He said he had already drafted the Workers' Compensation Amendment Bill, but it was doubtful whether there would be sufficient time in the second portion of the session for a measure to be introduced. Undey the bill as framed, there would be power for the Government to appoint a special Compensation Court by Order-in-Council at any time when such action was found necessary. It would be impossible to appoint such a Court without specific legislative authority, and the whole position was one that required to be carefully watched.
