COMPENSATION CASE
DECISION RESERVED By Telegraoh—Press Association WELLINGTON, May 1. Ethel Clausen, as mother of Lawrence Clausen, deceased, claimed compensation In the Arbitration Court from the Couchman Cycle Co., Ltd., in respect of the loss suffered by her as a partial dependant, £2O funeral expenses, costs of the action and such further relief as the Court might deem just. The boy fell under a motorlorry while cycling to work last June. It was claimed by the plaintiff that, because the boy was riding a vehicle provided by his employer for travelling to and from work, she should succeed. The defence said that as the boy was not required to ride the bicycle, and as he had not reached his place of employment, the claim should fail. Saying that the case was somewhat unusual, Mr Justice Page announced that the Court would give a written judgment.
