Industrial Magistrate F W Blake heard a dispute between H Nolan's cane cutters and farmer D C James at Mirriwinsi Babinda. The case questioned whether block 15 was burnt at the cutters' request or the farmer's, and whether written permission under Clause 20(22) of the Sugar Industry Award was provided. The decision will determine if the cutters were paid 6 93-8d a ton plus 6d for weeds or if 7/8 a ton is due, with arguments focusing on written authorization and who initiated the burn.
