County Court Cases.
Tanfield Lea. George Pyle, 17, belt lad.
Pyle fell on an iron box on 26th March, 1923, and injured his left knee. He did not report the accident at the time but a man named Nicholson was present when the accident occurred. Pyle subsequently had his leg amputated and the medical evidence was to the effect that the condition which necessitated amputation was set up by the injury.
The Committee failed to agree on 18th June, 1923.
Judge Moore heard the case at Consett County Court on 12th October, 1923, and reserved his judgment in order to consider the point raised by the Owners in regard to their being prejudiced from want of notice.
His Honour delivered judgment on 9th November, 1923, and awarded Pyle full compensation without War addition.
