Supreme Court of Mississippi.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Janet McMurtray, Fred Krutz, III, S. Kay Freeman, Forman Perry Watkins & Krutz, Jackson, for Appellees.

Before PRATHER, P.J., and BANKS and SMITH, JJ.

BANKS, Justice, for the Court:

¶ 1. In this case we consider the constitutionality of the Mississippi Workers' Compensation scheme, which is often alleged to be characterized by long delays in the resolution of claims. Because the plaintiffs have not demonstrated in this record that these delays cause any constitutional injury, we affirm the trial court's denial of the relief sought, and accordingly decline to strike down the Workers' Compensation scheme.
