Defective Act Says 1947 Cashman Award Questioned
The West Virginia Supreme Court heard that a 1947 appropriation of 2,000 for Dr Harold Cashman was a defective legislative finding. Assistant Attorney General Eston B Stephenson argued that the auditor lacks power to reject awards approved by the Court of Claims and Legislature, while noting the law merely recites findings without facts showing moral obligation. The case centers on whether the state can be morally bound to pay when no negligence is shown and the legislature cannot create a moral obligation where none exists.
