Arbitration Committee Meeting

On 7th and 21st May 1924
Report of Meeting held 7th May, 1924
Hamsteels. James Carter, 59, deputy.
Carter wrenched himself whilst getting past a tub on 14th July, 1922. He did not report the accident until 21st July, 1922, and the management refused compensation on the grounds that no accident occurred.
The case was before the Committee on 2nd October, 1922, and was disallowed. Carter asked for his case to be re-opened, and submitted reports from Dr. Plummer and Sir Thomas Oliver.
Dr. Plummer reported on 29th January, 1924 :—
"With reference to your visit on 19th inst. about Mr. James Carter’s accident and operation on 14th and 17th July, 1922, I am of the opinion that his condition as found at the operation could have been caused as described."
Dr. Sir Thomas Oliver on 16th February, 1924, reported :—
"It cannot be definitely proved that had there been no injury there would not have been a twisted bowel, but as the twist followed the injury and injury is a cause of the disease Carter’s case, it seems to me, is well worthy of being re-opened and discussed before an Arbitration Board.
Application refused.
