This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1882 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER V. AS TO CAUSES OF ACTION UNDER THE EMPLOYEES' LIABILITY ACT, 1880. The first matter in respect of which an action is given by the Employers' Liability Act, 1880, is the case of personal injury caused to a workman by reason of any defect in the condition of the ways, works, machinery, or plant, connected with or used in the business of the employer (a). If this had stood alone it would have had the effect of making the employer warrant to the workman the safety of the ways, works, machinery, and plant of his business, and would very materially have altered the law. Previous to the Act it was clearly settled that no such warranty existed arising from the relation of the parties. Thus in one case (fe) the plaintiff was employed as an actor, and alleged in his declaration that the duty of the defendant was to cause a floor to be sufficiently lighted, and a hole in such floor to be fenced, guarded, and secured, and that the defendant did not perform that duty, and in consequence the plaintiff fell down the hole and sustained injury. A verdict having been given for the plaintiff, a motion was made to arrest the judgment on the ground that the declaration shewed no such duty to light and fence as was alleged, and it was held that no such duty arose from the relation in which the parties stood to each other. In another case (c) the first count of a declaration alleged (a) Sect. 1, sub-s. 1. (6) Seymour v. Maddox, 16 Q. B. 326; 20 L. J. Q. B. 327. (c) Couch v. Steel, 3 E. & B. 402; 23 L. J. Q. B. 121. that the defendant so negligently fitted out and equipped a vessel, that the same was unseaworthy and in a leaky and dangerous condition, and unfit to be sent or go to sea, in consequence of which damage resulted to the plaintiff. To this...

Book Description
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of the Employers Liability Acts of New York, Massachusetts, Indiana, Alabama, Colorado, and England The New York Employers' Liability Act of 1902 is the fifth statute of this nature enacted in the United States. Massachusetts, Alabama, Indiana and Colorado have also Employers' Liability Acts. The English act of 1880 is still in force; but since the passage of the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1897, the Employers' Liability Act of 1880 has been very little resorted to. The purpose and effect of all the Employers' Liability Acts are to extend the common-law rights of employees and the liability of employers for personal injuries suffered by employees. Several classes of persons for whose negligence causing injury to a coemployee the common employer was not liable at common law because they were fellow servants, are now under these acts "superintendents," or acting superintendents, or persons having the "charge or control," for whose negligence the common employer is liable in damages to an employee injured thereby. The New York act of 1902, ch. 600, section 3, contains a new provision not found in the earlier acts concerning the defenses of assumption of risk and contributory negligence. It declares that the question of tho employee's "continuance in the same place and course of employment with knowledge of the risk of injury shall be one of fact."
