A Comparative Analysis on Notional Extention

In the words of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Bread a house, adequate clothing, education, good health
and above all the right to work with dinity on the worlds boulevards.
The principal behind compensation to the injured worker under the Employee State Insurance
Act 1948 and Workmens Compensation Act, 1923 is considered according to the Doctrine of
Notional Extension.
Section 3(1) Workmen Compensation Act, 1923 provides that the injury must be caused to
workman by an accident arising out of and in the course of employment. Employment does not
necessarily ends when the tool down signal is given or when the workman leaves the actual
workshop. There is a notional extension at both the entry and exit time and space. As
employment may end or may begin not only when the employee begins to work or leaves his
tools but also when he used the means of access and egress to and from the place of employment.
The first part of the writing includes the position of the doctrine in United States of America. An
injured worker is entitled to workers compensation benefits only if the injury arose out of and in
the course of employment. The first part of this requirement, arising out of employment,
ensures that there is a causal connection between the work and the injury. Usually the employee
has the burden of proving that the injury was caused by exposure to an increased risk from
employment.
The second part of the writing includes the position of doctrine in United Kingdom.Workers
compensation in the United Kingdom helps workers and their families to claim for compensation
in the case of injuries, illness or death that occurs due to carelessness, negligence or inadequate
training in any workplace. In the workplace, accidents can occur very unexpectedly and
consequently, they can affect the life of the workers and disrupt the work. Carelessness is the
prime cause of accidents, which could result in injury or even death.
The last part of the writing suggests a transitional framework on legal issues on the aforesaid
subject by discussing empirical theories and case studies.
