Dependents of Fairley v. Jackson Cty

Supreme Court of Mississippi
Mar 23, 1970
233 So. 2d 216 (Miss. 1970)

Opinion

No. 45659.

March 23, 1970.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Jackson County; Darwin M. Maples, J.

John D. Gautier, Lester C. Franklin, Jr., Pascagoula, for appellants.

Hurlbert O'Barr, Biloxi, for appellees.


This is an appeal from a judgment of the Circuit Court of Jackson County which affirmed an order of the Workmen's Compensation Commission. The commission denied the claimants' compensation claim since it found the death of claimants' decedent to have been the result of activities not related to his employment.

The issue before the Court is whether the commission correctly determined the decedent to have deviated from the course of his employment at the time of his death.

It is the opinion of the Court that the issue presented is controlled by Persons v. Stokes, 222 Miss. 479, 76 So.2d 517 (1954).

Affirmed.

GILLESPIE, P.J., and JONES, INZER and ROBERTSON, JJ., concur.
