Reed v. . Lavender Bros.

175 S.E. 927, 206 N.C. 898, 1934 N.C. LEXIS 340

Opinion

Per Curiam.

The award was properly entered upon the facts found by the hearing commissioner, later adopted and approved by the full Commission, as they are amply supported by the evidence.

It is well settled that the award of the Industrial Commission is “conclusive and binding as to all questions of fact,” if supported by sufficient competent evidence. N. C. Code, sec. 8081 (ppp); Clark v. Woolen Mills, 204 N. C., 529, 168 S. E., 816; Massey v. Board of Education, 204 N. C., 193, 167 S. E., 695; Kenan v. Motor Co., 203 N. C., 108, 164 S. E., 729. Indeed, neither this Court nor the Superior Court, on appeal from an award of the Industrial Commission, can consider the evidence and determine therefrom what the facts are. This is a matter exclusively for the Industrial Commission. Ussery v. Cotton Mills, 201 N. C., 688, 161 S. E., 307.

Affirmed.
