Master and Servant Ordinance: No. 11 of 1865; Notes of Decided Cases is a reference work that compiles and explains decisions related to the master and servant relationship under the 1865 ordinance.
It presents the historical development of this area of law and the way courts have interpreted contract, service, and misconduct in a colonial context. The text helps readers understand how the law defines “servant,” what counts as breach of contract, and how penalties are applied.
Framed around introductory context and a portable collection of case notes, the book traces the evolution of enforcement, the roles of employers and workers, and the boundaries of criminal and civil remedies in labor disputes. It covers provisions on travel and duties of servants, conduct by employers, and the kinds of relationships that fall under this ordinance. The material is designed for researchers and practitioners who need to reference decisions and the language used by courts in these matters, without presenting modern reinterpretations.
- Offers a historical overview of the contract-based master–servant relationship and its enforcement
- Documents offences by servants and by employers, including punishment mechanisms
- Highlights how terms like “servant” are interpreted across different case contexts
- Provides guidance on legal formulations and citations used in early labor law decisions
Ideal for readers of legal history, colonial law studies, and students seeking a compact, decision-focused resource.
