In Re: Estate of W. Herold; Apl of: Univ of Pgh.

Summary

Justice Brobson, writing a dissent, argues that the majority misread the Workers’ Compensation Act’s clear 300‑week manifestation requirement and the Occupational Disease Act’s language, and that the Court should overrule the Tooey decision. He contends that the statutes’ plain meaning controls and that the Court should not look beyond the text.
