43 P.2d 786 | Kan. | 1935
In our opinion and judgment filed in this appeal {Woods v. Jacob Dold Packing Co., 141 Kan. 363, 41 P. 2d 748) this court held that since the workmen’s compensation act is complete in itself, its remedies are exclusive, it does not sanction the imposition of interest charges upon specific items of an award, and its legislative history shows the lawmakers’ deliberate intent to exclude allowances of interest from its provisions, it was error for the trial court to allow an interest charge on the item awarded for burial expenses of the deceased workman.
Counsel for appellant now direct our attention to the full scope of this appeal. The record does show that over appellant’s objection the trial court imposed an interest charge on the weekly payments which had been withheld during the pendency of the appeal from the order of the compensation commissioner, and error was predi
Our original judgment and order will therefore be modified, and the trial court directed to eliminate from its judgment all interest charges on the award, and thus corrected its judgment will stand, affirmed.
It is so ordered.
