Caudill v. Maloney's Discount Stores

REED, Justice. Reva Caudill was awarded workmen's compensation benefits for total and permanent disability by the Board. Her employer, Maloney's Discount Stores, appealed the determination to the Johnson Circuit Court. That court upheld the Board's award. Maloney's then appealed to the Court of Appeals where the circuit court's judgment was reversed and the award set aside. The circuit court was directed to remand the case to the Board to make appropriate findings as to the availability of work which the claimant could perform and to make an award in conformity with such findings. See Maloney's Discount Stores v. Caudill, Ky., 547 S.W.2d 784, 785 (1977). We granted Caudill's motion for discretionary review, and now reverse the decision of the Court of Appeals and affirm the judgment of the Johnson Circuit Court.
