Pro:: ably no lawyer in New Zealand possesses so intimate a knowledge of the law relating to workers’ compensation as does Mr P. J. O’Regan, of Wellington, and it is doubtful whether any other barrister has appeared on behalf of claimants seeking compensation Sb many times as he. When Mr O’Regan appears in court, on citing previous New Zealand decisions, ho is able more often than not to inform the bench that his knowledge of the case has been gained through having actually appeared on behalf of one of the parties. During the hearing of a case by the Full Court in Wellington, which concerned the claim of a quartz-miner following an accident in a mine-cage at Waihi, Mr O’Regan cited two cases in support of a particular contention. “Both cases are rify own,” he said. “Are they anv the worse for that?" queried the Chief Justice (Sir Michael Myers), with a smile. “That is the reason I know them so well, your Honour,” Mr O’Regan replied. “If I may use a sporting tern;, ‘I know the course.’”
