GARDENER’S CLAIM FAILS
j, INJURED FOR TWO MONTHS Press Association DUNEDIN. Today. The Arbitration Court was asked to i decide in a compensation claim | whether a gardener employed by a i medical man was entitled to claim j compensation within the meaning of ' the Act if he received an injury while ! engaged in that work. Plaintiff alleged that, while working in defendant’s garden, he received personal injuries and was unable to carry on his occupation for two months. He claimed loss of wages. Mr. Justice Frazer said it was difficult to give the precise meaning of the word “work’* in the Act, but one would never say a doctor was carrying on the work of gardener nor was he a nurseryman. The Act did not apply to people working about a man’s house or grounds. ' Judgment was given for defendant.
