Supreme Court of Virginia
Decided September 9, 1966No. Record 6300PublishedCited by 16 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtSnead, J.
Under the Workmen’s' Compensation Act the Industrial Commission made an award to Willie Jenkins, claimant, for injuries he sustained “arising out of and in the course of his employment” with Peanut City Iron and Metal Co., Inc. The company and its insurer, Bituminous Casualty Corporation, appellants, defended the claim on the ground that Jenkins had been guilty of “wilful misconduct” (Code, § 65-35) 1 by violating a well-known oral safety rule of his employer, which misconduct was the proximate cause of his injuries. They appealed from the award made by the Commission.
