SUSPENSORY AWARD?
ARBITRATION COURT CASE.
Much legal argument was heard in the Arbitration Court yesterday as to whether the Court could, under the circumstances, make a suspensory award in a compensation case and thus keep alive plaintiff's claim. The case was one in which William James Yeo, Htoreman, of Auckland, sought compensation from Pearson, Knowlee and Rylands (Mr. Hore). The hearing had I been adjourned from October ft. Mr. Justice O'Regan presided, and with him Were associated Mr. W. Cecil Prime and Mr. A. L. Monteith. The statement of claim said that on or about May 28, 1930, while cutting barbed wire, plaintiff suffered an abdominal strain as a result of which he was incapacitated from October 3. Hie wages were £4 7/6 a week and the company had paid that sum weekly from the date of injury to the hearing of the proceedings. The defence stated that plaintiff was now fit to follow his occupation as a Htoreman and had been doing so since the end of February, 1037. The Court reserved its decision.
