Description
AREND, Justice. In a single specification of error set forth in his brief on appeal the appellant, an injured workman, charges that 'the Superior Court committed error in granting judgment wherein it held that 'some' evidence was sufficient to support a decision of the Alaska Workmen's Compensation Board and wherein it held that there was some evidence in the record of this case to support the Board's decision.' This specification is improper because it actually alleges two errors and therefore need not be considered. 1 However, we have examined the entire brief and find manifest therein a bona fide effort to comply with the supreme court rules; so we shall proceed to determine the issues raised. The appellant contends primarily that the trial court erred as a matter of law in affirming the Board's decision in favor of the appellee employer, on the basis of the court's finding of merely some evidence to support the Board's decision. This, says the appellant, was in contravention of section 25 of the Alaska Administrative Procedure Act 2 (hereinafter referred to as the APA) which requires that the Board's decisions be supported by substantial evidence in the light of the whole record.
