Jurisdiction of Commissioner Questioned in Lansky Death Case
The case challenges whether Commissioner Edward T. Buckingham had authority to award benefits to Walter Lansky’s beneficiaries after Lansky drowned at the Riverside Oyster Company docks. The Employers’ Stability and Assurance Co. contests the award claiming lack of jurisdiction based on Lansky’s death at sea. The claimants, represented by Attorney Samar Reich, seek $5 weekly for 312 weeks, with an appeal set for Tuesday at 11 a.m. and expected sharp legal argument.
