I am not in a position to know whether County Court judges would be able to undertake the very considerable addition to their work involved in dealing with a number of appeals estimated to require from 15 to 25 whole-time Tribunals, but I am doubtful whether in any event their experience particularly qualifies them for this work. The basis of compensation for war disablement is entirely different from that of workmen's compensation; whereas the latter is concerned with loss of earning capacity, this has no place in the assessment of pensions for war disablement which are based on the physical impairment of the pensioner as compared with a normal healthy person of the same age.
