Subject_1 Reparation Subject_2 Employers Liability Act 1880 (43 and 44 Vict. c. 42), sec. 7 Subject_3 Notice.
Reparation Subject_4 Action — Receipt for Sum of Money in Compensation for Damages.
Process — Sheriff — Appeal — Plea. Facts: A workman sustained personal injuries on 7th May. He sent his employers notice of injury in time to be delivered in course of post on 19th June. Held that this notice was not served within six weeks from the occurrence of the accident within the meaning of the Employers Liability Act.
A workman sued his master for damages for injury. The Sheriff found that the pursuer had discharged his claim, and the Court found on appeal that the discharge was no bar to the action. The pursuer then moved for leave to lodge issues for the trial. The Court allowed an issue to be lodged for trial by jury in the Court of Session, holding it unnecessary, as the whole case was before them, to remit to the Sheriff to proceed with it.
This action was subsequently raised. It was laid at common law, and alternatively under the Employers Liability Act, and was founded on averments that the accident arose from fault for which the defenders were responsible.
