178 A.2d 161

RUTH DWYER, PETITIONER-APPELLANT, v. FORD MOTOR COMPANY, RESPONDENT-RESPONDENT.

The Supreme Court of New Jersey.

Decided January 22, 1962.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. Aaron Gordon argued the cause for petitioner-appellant (Mr. Louis L. Cronson, on the brief; Messrs. Hirschberg, Nashel, Zorn & Cronson, attorneys).

Mr. Verling C. Enteman argued the cause for respondent-respondent (Mr. Andrew S. Polito, of counsel).


The opinion of the court was delivered by FRANCIS, J.

This is a heart death workmen's compensation case. The Division of Workmen's Compensation denied an award; the County Court and the Appellate Division affirmed. We granted certification.

Certification was allowed primarily to review the principle under which benefits are payable in heart attack cases, and the nature of the proof required in such cases to make them compensable.
