The claimant sought repayment of sums he claimed were unlawfully deducted from his salary. He had been off sick for an extended period, and had been paid only half salary. He said that the injury was a qualifying industrial accident. Medical evidence suggested it related back to degeneration which started before he had begun to work there. The contract of employment had two schemes for payment of sick pay which fell to be reconciled. In fact the tribunal, in dismissing his claim had correctly judged the schemes, and if they had taken the view of the cause of the injury asserted by the claimant, his rights might well have been reduced.
