Santilli v. Liberty Mut. Ins. Co

Supreme Court of Rhode Island
May 14, 1957
131 A.2d 685 (R.I. 1957)

Opinion

Eq. No. 2540.

May 14, 1957, Decided

John Quattrocchi, Jr., Providence, for petitioner.

Worrell & Hodge, Eldridge H. Henning, Jr., Providence, for respondent.


PER CURIAM.

After our opinion herein was filed, the petitioner asked and received permission to file a motion for leave to reargue. In this motion he seeks to reargue each of the points decided against him.

We have carefully considered those points and the only one which may conceivably present a basis for reargument is the one involving the number of weeks for which he should be paid specific compensation for the loss of his leg. It is clear that the single commissioner and the full commission were unaware that the statute was the same at the time of the accident as it was at tyhe time when petitioner became incapacitated, namely, that it provided 255 weeks of specific compensation. Pub.Laws 1954, c. 3297, § 12 (b). Therefore, we will hear the parties as to whether we should modify the commission's decree and order the respondent to pay the petitioner compensation for 255 weeks.

To that extent only, the petitioner's motion for leave to reargue is granted.

FLYNN, C. J., not participating.
