Such a judge would take the view the small man was getting money from a business or corporation.

While this may have constituted a serious miscarriage of justice, this is how matters stood. Anyone who was involved in legal matters pertaining to personal injuries took such a route. I am unsure whether giving absolute discretion to judges is the correct route to take. The Minister should consider this matter to ascertain whether he can come up with something less prescriptive.
