Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Employers´ Liability Acts and the Assumption of Risks, Vol. 2: In New York, Massachusetts, Indiana, Alabama, Pennsylvaia, Colorado, and England; And Including the Federal Act The recent decisions have defined more closely the phrases of the Employers´ Liability Act, and without adding much new law in the doctrine of assumption of risks, have greatly multiplied examples. The recent legislation has tended to amplify the remedies of workmen by restricting or abolishing the defense of fellow service, as in the New York Railroad Act of 1906, the Pennsylvania Statute of 1907 and the Federal Employers´ Liability Act, and by removing the defense that a servant merely by remaining at work, without knowledge, assumes the risk of a danger created by the master´s default, a provision very commonly inserted in safety appliance statutes, and recently added to the Alabama Code. Happily the ounce of prevention is being more generally applied by the adoption of child labor inspection and safety appliance regulations. Legislation of this character renders necessary a more thorough understanding of the doctrine of assumption of risk, and a more precise definition of the several defenses that pass loosely under that name. This book attempts to gather and present the new matter of decision and legislation for the past five years in the form of a Supplement to an earlier volume entitled "The Employers´ Liability Acts and the Assumption of Risks" published in 1902.
