Appeal of the Lawson Group & a.

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire affirmed the Compensation Appeals Board’s denial of reimbursement to The Lawson Group under the Second Injury Fund, finding that the employer failed to show written knowledge of the employee’s permanent impairment at the time of retention. The Court also rejected the group’s due‑process claim, holding that no actual bias was shown. The decision was reviewed deferentially for factual findings and de novo for legal conclusions.
