How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding an appellate courts review is limited to deciding whether the Appellate Panels decision is unsupported by substantial evidence or is controlled by some error of law
- reversing Workers’ Compensation Commission in part because the full commission failed to set forth the underlying facts upon which it relied to support its conclusion
- stating an appellate court may not substitute its judgment for that of the Commission as to the weight of the evidence on questions of fact, but it may reverse where the decision is affected by an error of law or is unsupported by substantial evidence
- “An act outside an employee’s regular duties which is undertaken in good faith to advance the employer’s interest, whether or not the employee’s own assigned work is thereby furthered, is within the course of employment.”
- While the appellate courts are required to be deferential to the full commission regarding questions of fact, this deference does not prevent the courts from overturning the full commissions decision when it is legally incorrect as it is here.
