A. little-known clause in the Social Security Act came before the notice of the Supreme Court, in Hamilton, during the hearing of a claim for damages brought by a cyclist who was injured in a collision with a motor-car. Counsel said that while plaintiff was in hospital he had received £2/10/- a week from the Social Security Department for his wife and children. Under the Act this money was repayable in the event of plaintiff succeeding in his claim, and an allowance for this had accordingly been made in the special damages claimed.
