56 N.J. 7 (1970)

264 A.2d 204

HONORA HAMMOND, PETITIONER-APPELLANT, v. THE GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC TEA COMPANY, RESPONDENT-RESPONDENT.

The Supreme Court of New Jersey.

Decided April 20, 1970.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mrs. Mabel L. Richardson argued the cause for petitioner-appellant (Messrs. Stavis, Richardson, Koenigsberg & Rossmoore, attorneys).

Mr. James A. Robottom argued the cause for respondent-respondent (Messrs. Haskins, Robottom & Hack, attorneys; Mr. James A. Robottom on the brief).


The opinion of the court was delivered by PROCTOR, J.

In this workmen's compensation case, the sole issue is whether petitioner is entitled to recover for injuries she received when she fell at a point near her employer's premises shortly after leaving work. Both the Division of Workmen's Compensation and the County Court held that petitioner's injuries were not compensable since the accident did not arise out of and in the course of her employment. N.J.S.A.
