The insurance court dismissed the plaintiff's appeal to the Accident Board's decision regarding work-related injury benefits. The plaintiff had bypassed the mandatory pre-litigation step of appealing to the Accident Board, while the employer did not appeal to the insurance court. The court ruled that without prior exhaustion of the administrative remedy, the plaintiff lacked the legal standing to challenge the decision directly.

Legislator headnote
