36 A.D.2d 868 (N.Y. App. Div. 1971)

Opinion

April 19, 1971


Appeal from a decision of the Workmen's Compensation Board, filed May 18, 1970, following a reversal of a prior decision ( Matter of Burch v. General Elec. Co., 33 A.D.2d 613), which made an award upon a finding that the compensable accident of November 26, 1962 was the sole cause of the claimant's temporary disability. The board was empowered to modify its decision so as to reach a different result upon the same record. (Workmen's Compensation Law, § 123; Matter of Spaminato v. Bay Transp. Corp., 32 A.D.2d 345.) Decision affirmed, with costs to the Workmen's Compensation Board. Herlihy, P.J., Reynolds, Greenblott, Cooke and Simons, JJ., concur.
