THE NEILSEN CASE
INJUNCTION GRANTED RIGHTS OP NATURALISED SUBJECTS. ..•-.. ■ (Rec. February 3, 8.40 p.m.) Sydney, February 3. Mr. Justice Street delivered hist reserved judgment in the Neilsen case, contending that the union having deliberately prevented the applicant and others continuing in employment was sufficient to constitute an actionable wrong unless justification was shown. The .belief entertained by members of the union that it was dangerous to allow enemy subjects access to British ships was insufficient justification. The applicant becoming naturalised entitled him to the rights and privileges of a British subject and he'had not lost those rights merely because a state of war existed between the country of his origin and the country of his adoption. The union advanced nothing against the applicant's personal conduct, acting solely on a general attitude towards enemy subjects, whether naturalised or unnaturali3ed. . ' Ho granted an injunction, adding that not only was the injury a continuing one to a labouring man working for a daily wage, but the injury and suffering incurred deprived him of employment for a long period and for such pecuniary damages did not provide an adequate reparation.
