COMPENSATION CASES

NO RIGHT Op -APPEAL Comment- was made bv the Chief Justice, Sir Michael Myers, iu ihe Conn. el" Appeal at Wellington, that, the case before the court showed that- some right •if appeal ought to be given by the Wnrkots’ Compensation Act, or else the Court, nl' Arbitration should decide stub matters itself. The question arose during the heaving of a case stated by the .Court of Arbitration for the opinion of the Court of Appeal on certain questions of law. “Now you see the difficulty here.” said His Honor, addressing counsel. “Then* is a decision of Mr. Justice- Sim in 191.1 Then* is a ileGrion of Afr. Justice Frazer in 1929. They may ho in conflict, but, whether that is so or not. we are now asked to determine this, case, and il we decided here that the* worker is entitled to compensation, then, nu injustice was was done in 1929 in respect ot which the worker had no right <a redress. It would appear Unit it should be one thing or another. I am not suggesting that any particular course, .should he adopted, Imt the present system is not satisfactory.”
