The Supreme Court of New Jersey.

Decided December 6, 1954.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. Arthur J. Sills argued the cause for appellant (Messrs. Wilentz, Goldman, Spitzer & Sills, attorneys).

Mr. Verling C. Enteman argued the cause for respondent (Messrs. McCarter, English & Studer, attorneys).

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

There are two fundamental doctrines that are constantly an aid in determining whether workmen's compensation is due in a given cause.

An injury suffered during the course of the work does not per se entitle one to the benefits of the Workmen's Compensation Act. It must also appear that the injury arose out of the employment. Seiken v. Todd Dry Dock, Inc., 2 N.J. 469
