Washington Workmen's Compensation: The Duplicate Task of Commission and Courts in Hearing Appeals Upon the Facts

Authors

M. Bayard Crutcher

Abstract

There are few instances in the law when a litigant can appeal to three successive tribunals upon findings of fact alone, and obtain a complete rehearing in each of them Such is the anomalous procedure permitted in cases arising under our Industrial Insurance Act. That, and the provision for a jury sitting on the second appeal, may help to explain the frequency with which "Blank v Department of Labor and Industries" appears in our advance sheets.
