1 Citing case

  1. SKF USA, Inc. v. W.C.A.B. (Smalls)

    728 A.2d 385 (Pa. Cmmw. Ct. 1999)   Cited 37 times
    Holding that the Board's order reversing the WCJ's denial of the claim petition and remanding for entry of an appropriate award was appealable because mere computation of benefits did not require exercise of administrative discretion

    Based on the issues raised on appeal, our review is limited to a determination of whether an error of law was committed and whether necessary findings of fact are supported by substantial evidence. Reliable Foods, Inc. v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Bd. (Horrocks), 660 A.2d 162, 166 (Pa. Commw. 1995). We are also guided by the basic premise that the Workers' Compensation Act is remedial in nature and intended to benefit workers, and therefore, must be liberally construed to effectuate its humanitarian objectives.
