Fidelity & Deposit Co. v. Industrial Accident Commission
California Supreme Court
APPLICATION for a Writ to Review an award of compensation made by the Industrial Accident Commission of the State of California. The facts are stated in the opinion of the court. Alfred C. Skaife, Guy Le Roy Stevick, and Redman & Alexander, for Petitioner.
1Opinion of the CourtHenshaw, J.
By this review petitioner seeks to have an award given under section 84 of the Workmen’s Compensation Act of 1913, as that act was amended in 1915, declared invalid. W. D. Head, president and superintendent of the Head Drilling Company, a corporation, was killed. The award was made to his widow. There is thus within this case the question of the power of the commission to make any award in case of death. But as that question is not necessary to the decision of this case, and as it is now under the consideration of this court in another case, it is here passed over without determination.
