Workmen's Compensation Act
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...

Alien enemy, a subject of a nation which is at war with this country. A contract with him is void, Brandon v. Nesbitt, (1794) 6 TR 23, unless he have a safe conduct or be living in this country by licence of the Crown; and so is a contract with his wife, De Wahl v. Braune, (1856) 25 LJ Ex 343. Further, not only commercial intercourse but all intercourse with an alien enemy is prohibited by the common law; see The Hoop, (1799) 1 C Rob 196, where Sir William Scott described an alien enemy as 'totally ex lege'; The Cosmopolite, (1801) 4 C Rob 8; The Panariellos, (1915) 138 LT Journ 484. Nor can an alien enemy exercise a right of voting in respect of shares in an English company, Robson v. Premier Oil Co., 1915 (2) Ch 124, nor (unless within the realm by the King's licence) can he sue here during the war, though he remains liable to be sued, Porter v. Freudenbery, 1915 (1) KB 857. As to the Crown's right at common law to forfeit the private property of subjects of an enemy state, see In re...
