Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama denied the petition for a writ of mandamus, holding that the defendants have not demonstrated a clear legal right to immunity under the Workers' Compensation Act. The Court emphasized that the issue of whether the chain bag is a manufacturer‑provided safety device remains unresolved and that the defendants have not met their prima facie burden. A dissent argued the petition should be granted.
