Description
Smith v Manchester Award. The trial judge had been right to refuse to make a Smith v. Manchester award. He plainly found that the Claimant was fit and capable of doing non-physical work, such as clerical work, which was freely available to her, and he was entitled to conclude that there was no real risk that she would be out of work on the basis the only available work was physical. There was no scope to make a Smith v Manchester award and it was impossible to say that the judge's conclusion was wrong.
