In the Matter of the Claim of Rose Riehl, against Town of Amherst — Department of Highways, Workmen's Compensation Board

Summary

The Court reversed the Workmen's Compensation Board's award of death benefits to the widow of Charles Biehl, holding that the Board's finding that chronic myocarditis contributed to death was not supported by substantial evidence. It reaffirmed that judicial review of quasi‑judicial determinations requires the substantial‑evidence standard, viewing the record as a whole.
