WHEREAS THE FACTS OF THE CASE SHOW THAT AT THE PRESENT STAGE OF THE ACTION IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FORM AN OPINION ON WHETHER THE ORIGINAL CASE IS WELL FOUNDED;

WHEREAS, SINCE THE FAMILY CIRCUMSTANCES REFERRED TO BY THE APPLICANT CANNOT LEAD TO ANY OTHER CONCLUSION, THE COMMISSION HAS RIGHTLY DECIDED TO APPLY TO HIM THE PROVISIONS OF THE SICKENSS AND INVALIDITY SCHEME AT PRESENT BEING DRAFTED;
