CALIFORNIA WESTERN STATES LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY v. INDUSRIAL ACCIDENT COMMISSION (1952)

Supreme Court of California, in Bank.

CALIFORNIA-WESTERN STATES LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, Petitioner, v. INDUSRIAL ACCIDENT COMMISSION of the State of California, Respondent.

Sac. 6255.

Decided: April 01, 1952

Downey, Brand, Seymour & Rohwer, J. Richard Glade and Ralph R. Martig, all of Sacramento, for petitioner. Edmund J. Thomas, Jr., Robert Ball, San Francisco, and Thomas L. Higbee, San Diego, for respondent.

This petition for review of an order of the Industrial Accident Commission raises the same question as that disposed of in Aetna Life Insurance Co. v. Ind. Acc. Comm., 38 Cal.2d 599, 241 P.2d 530, and that decision is controlling here.

The order is annulled and the cause is remanded to the Industrial Accident Commission for further proceedings in accord with our opinion in the Aetna case, supra.

I dissent.

The views expressed in my dissent in Aetna Life Ins. Co. v. Ind. Acc. Comm., 38 Cal.2d 599, 241 P.2d 530, are applicable here, from which it follows that I would affirm the order here under review.

PER CURIAM.
