Excerpt from Final Report on Laws Relating to the Liability of Employers to Make Compensation to Their Employees for Injuries Received in the Course of Their Employment Which Are in Force in Other Countries
It is in my Opinion essential that as far as is practicable there should be eer tainty that the injured workman and his dependants shall receive the compensation to which they are entitled, and it is also important that the small employer should not be ruined by having to pay compensation, it might be, for the death or per manent disability of his workmen caused by no fault of his. It is, I think, a serious objection to the British act that there is no security afforded to the workman and his dependants that the deferred payments of the compensation will be met, and that objection would' be still more serious in a comparatively new country such as this, where many of the industries are small and conditions are much less stable than they are in the British Isles.
This objection could, of course, be met by making it obligatory upon the employer to insure his workmen against accident to the maximum amount to which they or their dependants would be entitled under the act, but if insurance is to be compulsory I see no reason why the cheapest form of it - mutual insurance - should not be prescribed.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the findings of an official inquiry into workplace injuries and offers proposals for a just compensation law. The author, a prominent judicial figure, conducted an exhaustive examination of compensation laws in many countries to determine their effectiveness and fairness. In addition to examining existing laws, the author consulted with experts representing workers, business owners, insurance companies, and many others. This book considers the pros and cons of different compensation models and explains why the author believes a collective liability system with provisions to ensure adequate funding, like that used in Germany, is the best option for Ontario. Thoughtfully organized and clearly written, this study will be of interest to anyone concerned about workplace safety and the rights of injured workers. It provides a comprehensive analysis of a pressing social problem and offers a well-reasoned proposal for reform.
