Trinity Marine v. OSHRC
5th Circuit Court of Appeals
Dec. 5, 2001
Government Regulation: the U.S. Secretary of Labor's interpretation of OSHA
regulation 29 C.F.R. § 1915.132(d) was unreasonable as applied to the
Shipyard's electric cable repairs and the Shipyard did not have fair notice
that its use of wood-framed plug-in boxes violated 29 C.F.R. § 1910.305(e),
thus the penalties assessed against the Shipyard on those bases, and
following an investigation after the electrocution death of an employee, must
be set aside.

Deweert v. Stevedoring Services
9th Circuit Court of Appeals
Nov. 29, 2001
Longshore & Harbor Workers' Act: the ALJ calculated Petitioner's wage earning
capacity by averaging his actual wages from the date of injury to the present
& concluded that the resulting figure was higher than Petitioner's pre-injury
average weekly wage and that Petitioner had not suffered a loss in
wage-earning capacity, thus the award of only a nominal sum of US$1 per week
for Petitioner's lost wages claim was justified.
