COURT OF APPEAL.
INTERPRETATION OF AWARD. By Telegraph.—Press Association Wellington, July 7. The Court of Appeal is hearing argument to-day in the case of the Inspector of Awards v. Fred Fabian. The ease was stated for the opinion of the Court of Appeal by Mr. Justice Frazer. The Auckland licensed hotel employees’ award, which came into operation on January 9, 1922, provided that all employees should be allowed one week’s holiday on full pay each year after 12 months’ service. The defendant Fabian employed J. Blake from October, 1920, to January 30, 1922, and the point was whether the award was to be construed as entitling Blake to include any period during the coming into operation of the award in computing the 12 months referred to. Mr. MacGregor, K.C., Solicitor-Gene-ral, was for the Inspector of Awards, and Dr. Fitchett for Fabian. M. MacGregor stated that in l the Arbitration Court, awards in similar terms to the one under discussion had been interpreted as meaning that an employee who, at any time after the coming into operation of the award, completed 12 months’ employment, became entitled to one week’s holiday on full pay. This he contended was the only reasonable interpretation. Judgment was reserved. APPEALS AGAINST SENTENCES. Wellington, Last Night. The Court of Appeal dismissed appeals against sentences for criminal offences by George Kelly, of Auckland, and Robert Gilmour Allen, of Wanganui. In the former case the Court decided that the Act allowing appeal was not retrospective.
