CROWELL V. BENSON
285 U.S. 22 (1932)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over an award of the Employee's Compensation
Commission.
FACTS: This suit was brought in the United States District Court to enjoin the
enforcement of an award made by Crowell, (P) as deputy commissioner of the United States
Employee's Compensation Commission in favor of Knudsen and against Benson (D). The award was
made under the Longshoreman's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act and rested on a finding
by P that Knudsen was injured while in the employ of D and performing service on navigable
waters of the United States. D alleged that the award was contrary to law because at the
time of the injury Knudsen was not an employee of D and his claim was not within the
jurisdiction of P and that the Act, which P acted under, was unconstitutional. The district
court held a trial de novo.
