Local Committee neglects so to do for the space of fourteen days after service of such written request, then the Minister may appoint a trustee or trustees to fill such vacancy; and such trustee or trustees, when so appointed, shall have and may exercise all the powers of the original trustee or trustees with respect to the said account.

Coal-miners’ Relief Fund where there is no Local Committee.

18. In any district where there is no Local Committee the Public Trustee shall, on receipt of a certificate from a duly qualified medical officer, and also on a certificate from an Inspector of Mines, apply the moneys deposited to the credit of the Coal-miners’ Relief Fund as follows: When any workman has been off work through an accident he shall receive payment at the rate of 2s. 1d. for every day except Sundays from the date of the accident, which payment shall continue so long as such medical officer and Inspector of Mines certify that the workman is unable to work, but in no case for a longer period than two years; but when an accident occurs in any mine situate in a locality remote from settlement, where the services of a medical officer are not procurable, payment at the prescribed rate may be made for any period not exceeding thirty days from the date of accident on the certificate of the Inspector of Mines alone.

19. In addition to the foregoing benefit, a workman who is permanently totally disabled as the result of an injury whilst employed in or about a mine shall be granted a sum of £50, and a workman who is permanently partially disabled may be granted a proportionate part of £50, based on the degree of disability prescribed by the Second Schedule to the Workers’ Compensation Act, 1922.

20. Any workman who meets with an injury in or about a mine which disables him from work shall send, or cause to be sent, within seven days of such injury occurring, a notice in writing, and, except in the case mentioned in the preceding clause, a copy of the medical officer’s certificate to the Inspector of Mines; and all applications for relief must be made within fourteen days from the date of the accident, or the claim cannot be entertained. The Public Trustee is, however, authorized to pay any claims notwithstanding the failure to give such notice, provided he is satisfied that the failure was through no fault of the injured person.

21. Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore contained, the Public Trustee may, on the recommendation of the Inspector, pay to any coal-miner who, through any injury sustained in the course of his employment as a coal-miner, is permanently totally incapacitated from work of any kind such weekly allowance as may from time to time, subject to such conditions as he may impose, be authorized by the Minister.

22. No workman shall be entitled to relief from the Coal-miners’ Relief Fund for any accident caused by drinking intoxicating liquors, fighting, or any kind of athletic sports or game of amusement, or for any accident caused by the misconduct of such workman.

REGULATIONS REVOKED.
