(STANLEY BROWN PRIZEWINNER OF THE CHARTERED INSURANCE INSTITUTE, 1920) SIR ISAAC PITMAN & SONS, LTD. 1922 JUN A 27 Mo Clurg 1.3% G56 PREFACE THE object of this volume is to set forth in handy and compendious form suitable for the use of students, the principles and practice of workmen's compensation insurance. No attempt has been made to give a detailed exposition of the law on the subject, but a summary is given of the principal provisions of the relative statutes for convenience of reference and as an aid to the due understanding of the principles underlying this branch of insurance business. The subject has been treated as it stands at the present time, and without reference to any projected alterations in the law. The course of political events makes it unlikely that the revision of the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1906, recommended in the Report of the Royal Commission appointed in 1920 to consider the matter, will materialize for some considerable time. To his old friend, Mr. J. B. Welson, F.C.I.I., for much valuable counsel and assistance in the preparation of this work, the author tenders his grateful recognition C. E. G. |
