– It states that where the disablement is *of a temporary nature*, it means such disablement as reduces the earning capacity of an employee in *any employment in which he was engaged at the time of the accident*. This matches statement 1.
– It states that where the disablement is *of a permanent nature*, it means such disablement as reduces his earning capacity in *every employment which he was capable of undertaking at that time*. This matches statement 3.
– Statement 2 describes a temporary disablement that disables the person from performing *all* work. This corresponds to the definition of temporary *total* disablement under Section 2(1)(l), not partial disablement.
Therefore, statements 1 and 3 describe partial disablement.
