The Arbitration Court have forwarded to Auckland their judgment in the compensation case, David Ramnant v. Dempsey, a coal merchant. Plaintiff was incapacitated from work following an accident which happened to him in May, 1619, while he was in defendant’s employ, but the matter was complicated because he was suffering from a progressive hardening of the arteries, which was bound to incapacitate him sooner or later. The question for the Court was whether ho should be awarded a lump sum in respect of future incapacity, in place o£ a weekly allowance, such as he had received since his accident. The Court decided that the probable period of incapacity from accident was two years, and awarded a lump sum of £2OO to cover that period, reserving the right to plaintiff’s dependents to claim compensation should he die withm that period, on the ground that his death was due to the effects of the accident.
