Subject_1 Reparation Subject_2 Master and Servant Subject_3 Employers Liability Act 1880 (43 and 44 Vict. e.42), sec. 8.
Section 7 of the Employers Liability Act 1880 provides that the notice of injury required to be given by the Act shall be served on the employer, and may be served by delivering the same to or at the residence or place of business of the employer, or by post by a registered letter.
Opinion by Lord Adam, that it would be for the Judge presiding at the trial to make up his mind whether or not the evidence showed that sufficient notice had been given in terms of the Act, and to direct the jury accordingly.
On 7th January 1891 Murdo M'Leod, a labourer in the employment of Alexander George Pirie of Leckmelm, in the county of Ross and Cromarty, was injured while engaged along with some other labourers in erecting a crane for the removal of some boulders and other debris brought down by a spate.
