Reed v. Orkin Exterminating Co.

Opinion of the Court

OPINION AND ORDER

The decision of the Court of Appeals with respect to the Special Fund is affirmed. With respect to Orkin, under our opinion in Yocom v. Harrison, Ky., 517 S.W.2d 231 (1975), the issue of causation is foreclosed in the claimant’s favor, and the decision of the Court of Appeals is reversed. The cause is therefore remanded to the Workmen’s Compensation Board with directions that it make an appropriate award.

All concur.

ENTERED May 5,1981.

/s/ John S. Palmore Chief Justice
