Melvin G. PERRY v. Tom DELISLE, t/a R & T Construction and Uninsured Employers' Fund.

Court of Appeals of Virginia, Chesapeake.

November 30, 2004.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Beverly Powell Leatherbury, for appellant.

Darlene P. Bradberry (Breeden, Salb, Beasley & DuVall, P.L.C., on brief), Norfolk, for appellee Tom Delisle, t/a R & T Construction.

William C. Walker (Taylor & Walker, P.C., on brief), Norfolk, for appellee Uninsured Employers' Fund.

Present: BENTON and HUMPHREYS, JJ., and COLEMAN, S.J.


BENTON, Judge.

The Workers' Compensation Commission ruled that Tom Delisle, trading as R & T Construction, sustained his burden of proving he regularly employs fewer than three people. Melvin G.

For the reasons that follow, we reverse the commission's decision.
