Description
A writ was heretofore issued on petition of Los Angeles Jewish Community Council and National Automobile and Casualty Insurance Company for the review of an award of $6,000 by the Industrial Accident Commission as a death benefit to Margareta Frederika Cohn, widow of Rabbi Emil Bernard Cohn. In the petition the statement of question involved reads as follows: "Whether the Industrial Accident Commissions affirmance of findings and award on rehearing, said affirmance being based upon an erroneous assumption of facts by the referee, should be permitted to stand." We shall discuss this question later. As we view it the question, also argued by petitioners, is whether, at the time of his death, Rabbi Cohn was going to his place of employment, as usual, to perform his customary duties as part-time librarian or was engaged on a special mission for his employer, the Community Council. If the former, his widow would be excluded from the benefits of the Workmens Compensation Act under the "going and coming" rule. If the latter, and the fatal accident arose out of and in the course of decedents employment, the case would come within an exception to the rule and the death would be compensable.
