Report of Proceedings
of
Arbitration Committee Meeting

On October 6th 1926
Wheatley Hill. Thomas Wilson, 32, stoneman.
On 17th April, 1926, this man fell off with a beat knee. Full compensation was paid until 12th June, 1926, when it was stopped on a report of Dr. Leigh de Legh (the Owners' doctor). The case was referred to the Official Medical Referee, Dr. McCullagh, who reported on 15th July, 1926, as follows :—
1. "The said Thomas Wilson is suffering from injury to cartilage of left knee joint arising out of his work in April, 1926, and his condition is such that he is at present unfit for work as a stoneman, but can do light work, until he undergoes operation for injury to cartilage. He is willing to undergo operation at Royal Infirmary, Newcastle-on-Tyne.
2. The incapacity of the said Thomas Wilson is entirely due to injury in April, 1926."
The Owners are refusing to pay compensation on the above report on the grounds that they are not satisfied that there is a connection between the injury to the cartilage and the beat knee.
The Committee failed to agree.
