Yong Kang, D/b/a Lee's Massage, Appellant v. Alexander Mullins and State of Alaska, Workers' Compensation Benefits…

Summary

The court reversed the Alaska Workers' Compensation Appeals Commission's determination that Yong Kang d/b/a Lee's Massage was Alexander Mullins's employer under the Alaska Workers' Compensation Act. Although Kang arranged and paid for Mullins's work repairing a house, the evidence did not establish that Lee's Massage had an obligation to make the major repairs or that the work furthered its massage business rather than Kang's personal, consumptive interests. The court therefore also reversed the related default order.
