Ex Parte Windell Caldwell, Sr. (in Re West Fraser, Inc. v. Windell Caldwell, Sr.)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama held that the Court of Civil Appeals erred in reversing the trial court’s finding of compensability because the trial court’s determination was supported by substantial evidence under the standard set by Ex parte McInish. Accordingly, the Court reversed the appellate judgment and remanded for proceedings consistent with this opinion. Justice Murdock filed a concurring opinion, agreeing with the result but disputing the majority’s distinction from Ex parte Southern Energy Homes.
