Opinion
Argued September 20, 1966
Decided September 29, 1966
Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Third Judicial Department.
Anne Powell, Joseph Dean Edwards and Ann W. Koenig for appellants.
Edwin Kaufman for claimant-respondent.
Louis J. Lefkowitz, Attorney-General ( Julius Fell, Ruth Kessler Toch and Daniel Polansky of counsel) for Workmen's Compensation Board, respondent.
Order affirmed, with costs; no opinion.
Concur: Chief Judge DESMOND and Judges FULD, BURKE, BERGAN and KEATING. Judges VAN VOORHIS and SCILEPPI dissent and vote to reverse and to dismiss the claim upon the following ground: There was insufficient medical testimony to establish a causal relationship. The operating neurosurgeon testified to no causal relationship and the only evidence adduced to support it was by an expert witness qualified only in other fields whose opinion was purely speculative.
