Attorney General clarifies duties under Connecticut Workmen's Comp Act
Attorney General John H. Light defines distinct roles for the compensation commission and the insurance commissioner under Section 39. He rules Massachusetts insurers cannot be used to prove solvency for compensation claims, as solvency must be judged by direct ability to pay and security decisions lie with the insurance office. The decision emphasizes separate powers and prohibits indirect actions by the workmen's compensation commission. Detroit depot fire losses reach 250000 including records and freight.
