ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS WITH REFERENCE TO THE APPLICABLE AUTHORITY.

$($i$)$ Pablo, a former mine worker who is on retirement, is suffering from tuberculosis linked to his work in the mine in $1990.$ He became aware of the illness in $1994,$ and he informed his former employer and claimed compensation immediately. The employer checked his disciplinary records and found that Pablo had, on three occasions, been disciplined for not wearing a prescribed face mask to protect himself against dust in the mine, even though the employer had provided face masks for every shift. The employer feels that Pablo was not complying with the mine$$s rules. The employer uses the disciplinary records as a proof to dispute Pablo$$s claim for compensation. With the disciplinary records in mind, assume that you meet Pablo in $1994,$ and he wants you to advise on the chances of success he has for his claim for compensation.
