Court of Appeals of Oregon August 18, 1980, WCB Case No. 78-7856, CA 16332, CA 16415 (Marlow v. Dexter Wood Products)

SCHWAB, C. J.

The problems in this workers’ compensation case involve trying to put an extremely ill-defined and informal working arrangement into legal pigeonholes. Was claimant an employe or an independent contractor when he was injured? Had claimant terminated that relationship, whatever it was, before he was injured? The Workers’ Compensation Board resolved those issues in claimant’s favor.
