Gibson and Co v Wishart: HL 14 May 1914

Where employers apply for a review of the compensation payable by them weekly to a workman under an arbiter’s award, on the ground that the workman’s incapacity ceased at a date antecedent to the date of the application, at which date they have in fact ceased payment, the review may be, not only from the date of the application, but from such date, subsequent to the antecedent date stated in the application, as in fact it is found that the incapacity ceased.
