Kines v. City of Rome
Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court
Blackburn, Judge.
The claimants appeal the reversal of the administrative law judge’s (ALJ) award as affirmed by the appellate division of the Workers’ Compensation Board, based on the trial court’s conclusion that there was no competent evidence to support the award.
The issue we are confronted with is whether there was “any” competent and credible evidence to support the finding by the ALJ that deceased’s heart attack was attributable to his employment, and was thus covered by workers’ compensation. See Howard Sheppard, Inc. v. McGowan, 137 Ga. App. 408, 411 (224 SE2d 65) (1976).
