K-MART v. Whitney

OPINION

This case came before the Supreme Court on April 8,1998, pursuant to an order directing the parties to show cause why the issues raised by this petition for certiorari should not be summarily decided. The petitioner, Dorothy Whitney (Whitney), sought review of a decree of the Workers’ Compensation Court Appellate Division (Appellate Division) that reduced her workers’ compensation benefits by 30 percent.
