COUSINS v. GEORGIA-PACIFIC CORP.


599 A.2d 73 (1991)

Robert COUSINS v. GEORGIA-PACIFIC CORPORATION.

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine.

Decided November 8, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Paul H. Sighinolfi (orally), Jane E. Skelton, Rudman & Winchell, Bangor, for plaintiff.

Kevin M. Cuddy (orally), Cuddy & Lanham, Bangor, for defendant.

Before McKUSICK, C.J., and ROBERTS, WATHEN, GLASSMAN, CLIFFORD, and COLLINS, JJ.


ROBERTS, Justice.

Georgia-Pacific Corporation appeals from a decision of the appellate division affirming the restoration of compensation to Robert Cousins by the Workers' Compensation Commission. Georgia-Pacific contends that the termination of Cousins's employment for fault precludes a finding of causal connection between his original work injury and his current earning capacity. Because we reject that contention, we affirm the Appellate Division's decision.
