ROBERTS, J. This case presents a claim for workers’ compensation based on an alleged emotional trauma resulting from a foreman’s reprimand. We do not reach the question of compensability of emotional trauma thus incurred, since the evidence presented at the hearing does not support a finding that the incident exacerbated claimant’s preexisting emotional instability. Affirmed.

Citator

UpLaw has not yet analyzed Norton v. Weyerhaeuser Co.. The absence of a flag is not a finding that it is good law.

ROBERTS, J.

This case presents a claim for workers’ compensation based on an alleged emotional trauma resulting from a foreman’s reprimand. We do not reach the question of compensability of emotional trauma thus incurred, since the evidence presented at the hearing does not support a finding that the incident exacerbated claimant’s preexisting emotional instability.

Affirmed.
