NEW COURT GAZETTED
COMPENSATION TRIBUNAL JUSTICE O’REGAN TO PRESIDE MR A. TYNDALL’S APPONTMENT (By Telegraph.— Press Association) WELLINGTON, Friday In accordance with the provision made by Parliament last session for the setting up of a separate court to deal with workers’ compensation cases in order to relieve the present Court of Arbitration and thus expedite the hearing of industrial cases, the necessary regulations establishing the Compensation Court were gazetted to-day. Mr Justice O’Regan will be Judge of the new Compensation Court, and Mr Arthur Tyndall, Under-Secretary for Mines and Director of Housing, will succeed Mr Justice O’Regan as Judge of the Court of Arbitration. The present assessors for the employers and workers will be associated with the new court. The change will be effective as from March 7. It is pointed out that besides having the effect of relieving the Arbitration Court of compensation cases, the establishment of the separate court will enable compensation cases to be expeditiously dealt with, and thus avoid the anxiety often resulting in the prolongation of illness to the parties awaiting settlement of their cases.
