Opinion
ROBINSON, J.
This appeal concerns whether an injury suffered by an employee while walking at a pace akin to power walking during an unpaid lunch break on the employer’s premises is compensable under the Workers’ Compensation Act (act), General Statutes § 31-275 et seq. The plaintiff, Sharon Brown, appeals from the decision of the workers’ compensation review board (board) vacating the decision of the workers’ compensation commissioner (commissioner) granting her application for workers’ compensation benefits. We affirm the decision of the board.
