Yerbich v. Heald

This is an appeal from a summary judgment which determined plaintiffs deceased, Michael D. Yerbich, was not an employee of the defendant, Bates Lumber Company (Bates). Plaintiff did not appeal the trial courts order that the other defendant, George Heald (Heald), was not liable for workmens compensation. Heald did not have four or more employees and therefore did not come within the ambit of the New Mexico Workmens Compensation Act, Sections 59-10-1 through 59-10-37, N.M.S.A. 1953 (2d Repl. Vol. 9, pt. 1).
