Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Lawrence P. McLellan, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Schumacher, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (6 pages)
Lennox Industries, Inc. and Indemnity Insurance Company of North America appeal the district court’s ruling on judicial review, which reversed the workers’ compensation commissioner’s calculation of weekly benefits. OPINION HOLDS: Because the commissioner erred in its initial interpretation of Iowa Code section 85.36 (2019) and the district court was correct in reversing such misapplication, we affirm the district court’s ruling on judicial review.
