Michael Nagy, Petitioner-Appellant v. Ford Motor Company, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that an agreement for compensation approved by the Compensation Bureau does not bar a later formal determination of disability when the agreement does not resolve the jurisdictional facts. The Court reversed the County Court's dismissal of the petition and affirmed the Bureau's subsequent determination of disability. The decision rests on a construction of the 1945 amendment to section 9 of Ch. 74 and the limited jurisdiction of the Bureau.
