Railway and Canal Commission, a body established by the Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1888, to supersede the Railway Commissioners, who had been appointed under the (English) Regulation of Railways Act, 1873 (36 & 37 Vict. c. 48), with all the jurisdiction conferred by s. 3 of the (English) Railway and Canal Traffic Act, 1854 (see infra), on the several courts and judges empowered to hear and determine complaints under that Act, and exercise their jurisdiction with enlarged powers, and consisting of two appointed (one to be of experience in railway business) and three ex-officio commissioners: one for England, one for Scotland, and one for Ireland, bring each of them a judge of a superior Court in England, Scotland, or Ireland respectively, and not required to attend out of the part of the United Kingdom for which he is appointed.

Service of notice/notice
Service of notice/notice, according to Art. 158 of the First Schedule to the Indian Limitation Act, the period of limitation for an application to set aside an award under the Arbitration Act, 1940, begins to run from 'the date of service of the notice of the filing of the award. Notice does not necessarily mean 'communication in writing. 'Notice' accord-ing to the Oxford Concise Dictionary, means 'intimation, intelligence, warning' and has this meaning in expressions like 'give notice, have notice' and it also means 'formal intimation of something, or instructions to do something' and has such a meaning in expressions like 'notice to quit, till further notice'. Further, 'service', according to Webster's New International Diction-ary, II Edition, Unabridged, means 'act of bringing to notice, either actually or constructively, in such manner as is prescribed by law'. Oral communica-tion will therefore amount to service too, when no particular mode of service is prescribed. When the Legi...

Workmen's Compensation Act. (English) The Workmen's Compensation Act, 1897, introduced the principle of compulsory insurance of workmen by employers in a restricted number of trades. The gist of a right to compensation under the Acts is 'accident arising out of and in the course of the employment' causing personal injury to a workman (Workmen's Compensation Act, 1925 [15 & 16 Geo. 5, c. 84), s. 1 (1)] The compensation is not damages for negligence or any other tort at common law or by statute (see COMPBELL (LORD) ACTS (Fatal Accidents Acts, 1846-1908) and Employers Liability Act, 1880, sub tit. MASTER AND SERVANT), and an employer is not liable both for damages and compensation; but the workman or his representatives may elect between the remedies, and in an unsuccessful action for damages the Court may assess or refer the question of compensation to the proper tribunal, subject to an equitable order for costs (Workmen's Compensation Act, 1925, s. 25). Compensation is not payable for a...
