2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The Workman’s Compensation Act was not written with the intent that it be so penuriously interpreted that a workman be bound by a “one-shot” chance at showing his ability or inability to perform the tasks of his usual occupation or other work he is fitted by past history to do____Section 52-1-56(A) was unquestionably intended to meet the effect of changes which could occur in a workman’s physical condition, as related to a compensable injury (whether the change be for better or worse), during the period for which compensation could be paid.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The Workman's Compensation Act was not written with the intent that it be so penuriously interpreted that a workman be bound by a "one-shot" chance at showing his ability or inability to perform the tasks of his usual occupation or other work he is fitted by past history to do. If that were so, and each word of the Act were to be read to find a means to deny rather than to grant relief to an injured workman, the principal purpose of workman's compensation law would be thwarted.”
