Matter of Brochu v. Harris Structural Steel Co.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department

266 App. Div. 1048 (N.Y. App. Div. 1943)

Opinion

November 16, 1943.


Claimants, alleged dependents residing in Canada, appeal from disallowance of their dependency claims. The record indicates that the decision was made under the belief that residents of Canada are to be regarded as aliens and that section 17 Work. Comp. of the Workmen's Compensation Law applies. This was legal error as subdivision 4 of section 16 Work. Comp. of the Workmen's Compensation Law governs. Decision reversed and the matter remitted for consideration under the proper statute, with costs to the appellants against the employer and self-insurer. All concur.
