Criminal law – employees' compensation – periodical payments – discretion under section 10(5) – leave to appeal – Court of Final Appeal – great general and public importance – employee sustained injury – trial judge limited periodical payments to two years – Court of Appeal extended to three years – employer sought leave to appeal arguing s.10(5) discretion is fettered by s.10(2) and limited to one circumstance – whether question posed arises from judgment – no; court did not hold certificates beyond two years automatically require extension – whether proper construction of s.10(5) is question of great importance – yes; but leave refused because employer's construction is untenable – section 10(5) does not contain the highly limited fetter contended – application refused.
Legal issues: Whether the question of the extent to which s.10(5) discretion is fettered by s.10(2) arises from the judgment · Whether the proper construction of s.10(5) is a question of great general and public importance
Outcome: Application for leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal refused.
