Scott v. Industrial Accident Commission

Petitioner (sometimes herein called plaintiff) seeks by mandamus or prohibition to halt proceedings in a matter pending before respondent Industrial Accident Commission, until a final judgment shall have been reached in a superior court action in which recovery of damages is sought for the same personal injuries as are involved in the Industrial Accident Commission matter. Defendant in the superior court action claims, and plaintiff disputes, that the injuries were suffered while plaintiff was acting as defendants employe. We have concluded that a stay of the commission proceedings should be ordered.
