| Most Significant Legal Cases to Date |
| My client, a freight forwarder, was charged for failing to report within the statutory time limit set by the Workman's Compensation Act, an accident which happened to one of his workers. |
| On the hearing date, I fell ill and phoned in for an adjournment. This upset the prosecution who claimed that the defence was delaying the matter because it could not face the prosecution's 17 witnesses. |
| On the next hearing date I went to work systematically on the 17 prosecution witnesses, tied them down on the material facts, and then submitted that there was no evidence by the prosecution that the injured worker was under a contract of service and not a contract for services. I argued that as the injured person was not shown to be an "employee", the statutory time limit for reporting accidents within the Workman's Compensation Act did not apply, and that therefore there was no case to answer. |
| The Court accepted my submission. |
| My client was acquitted without defence being called. |
