Report of Proceedings

Arbitration Committee Meeting

On April 13th 1926
Chopwell. George W. Minto, 58, hewer.
On 23rd May, 1925, this man sustained injuries to his face, legs and feet through being thrown from a tub. Full compensation was paid until 22nd March, 1926, when it was reduced to 7/6 per week on a report of Dr. Henderson (the Owner's doctor) who reported on 4th March, 1926, as follows :—
"He is not now neurasthenic, and if he were once more in the way of working, would be practically normal, and his condition is such that he is fit for light work for a period prior to ordinary work.
In my opinion the cause or causes of the workman's present disablement are injuries above stated, and that the probable duration of the partial disability is two months."
Dr. Mackae Fyfe (the man's own doctor) on 11th March, 1926, reported as follows :—
"Present Condition. — His bruises are now quite gone but he complains of pain on walking in his left ankle. His general condition is good physically but he still remains nervous and states that he sleeps badly.
Grounds of Opinion. — I am of the opinion that, as a direct result of the above accident, this man is only fit for light work on surface.
No suitable light work has been offered and Minto now claims full compensation.
Referred to an Official Medical Referee.
