The distinction made in the tariff of injuries in the Act, between ‘full recovery’ and ‘continuing disability’ referred not to the general condition of the claimant, but rather to the state of the limb in question. The real distinction was between the words ‘full’ and ‘continuing’. A remaining observable loss of function indicated continuing disability.
