Opinion
This is an appeal from an order of the Superior Court denying summary judgment to the defendants. The Superior Court opinion is reported. Loden v. Getty Oil Company, Del.Super., 316 A.2d 214 (1974).
In our judgment, the Superior Court was correct in finding that the deceased was not an employee of Getty Oil Company and that this action is not barred by the Workmen’s Compensation Law. Compare Balma v. Tidewater Oil Company, Del.Supr., 214 A.2d 560 (1965). In adopting this finding, we express no opinion on whether there may be independent grounds to support the conclusion below on the basis of the particular contract between Getty Oil Company and Catalytic Construction Company and/or the statutory provision, 19 Del.C., § 2311.
Affirmed.
