Certiorari to Industrial Accident Board.
Proceedings under the Workmen's Compensation Act by George R. Anderson, claimant, opposed by the Ford Motor Company, employer. An award was granted by the Industrial Accident Board, and the employer brings certiorari. Award vacated.
Argued before McDONALD, C. J., and CLARKE, BIRD, SHARPE, MOORE, STEERE, FELLOWS, and WIEST, JJ. George H. Anderson, for appellant.
Edward N. Barnard, of Detroit, for appellee.
December 16, 1922, while working at common labor in defendant's employ, plaintiff, in lifting a plank, sprained his back. He quit work for 3 1/2 weeks, and then returned and worked at lighter labor until early in March, when he decided to take a rest and left defendant's employ. He changed his mind about taking a rest, and wanted to return to work for defendant, but was not taken back, and, after seeking other employment and declining two offers because the work was too heavy, he secured work in a restaurant May 17, 1923, and was working there at the time of his first and second hearings for compensation. April 28, 1923, he made application for compensation, stating therein that the injury to his back caused him to lose three weeks' time. He was then suffering with his back a great deal, and asked $28 for two weeks' compensation, and such other relief as he was entitled to have under the Workmen's Compensation Law (Comp. Laws 1915, §§ 5423-5495). This petition was heard by a deputy commissioner May 20, 1924, and testimony taken. Plaintiff then claimed his injury incapacitated him from performing heavy labor. At that hearing he testified:
He also stated that his claim was limited to $28 for lost time and about $1.75 for liniment, etc. He was awarded compensation for 2 1/2 weeks at $14 per week, and $1.75 for medical expenditures. This award was paid by defendant and receipt given by plaintiff.
August 27, 1924, plaintiff filed another petition, in which he alleged the same injury and the award mentioned, and--
Upon a hearing, and over objection, he was awarded $7.80 per week from May 21, 1924, to September 16, 1924. The order suspended payment after September 16th because defendant had offered plaintiff a job which it was admitted he could perform. This petition on its face was for a rehearing pure and simple, and should not have been acted upon. The board may neither grant or hold a rehearing. Harris v.
