WC Reform Act of 2004 Upheld as Constitutional
In a ruling that provides a stamp of validity to the 2004 Workers’ Compensation Reform Act, the Tennessee Supreme Court has held the Act to be fully constitutional. The Court’s rulings in JerryWayne Lynch v. City of Jellico, No. E2006-00208-SCR3-CV (Tenn. Aug. 30, 2006) and David A. Lozano v. Lincoln Memorial University, No. E2-6-00207-SC-R3-CV (Tenn. Aug. 30, 2006) reverse a decision of the Campbell County and Claiborne County Chancery Courts, respectively, which invalidated the Act on a number of constitutional grounds.
