DURRAH V. WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN AREA TRANSIT AUTHORITY
760 F.2d 322 (D.C. Cir. 1985)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Durrah (P) appealed an adverse determination by the ALJ and
affirmation of that determination by the Benefits Review Board.
FACTS: Durrah (P) was employed as a special police officer by Transit (D). P was on duty
and in violation of work rules left the guardhouse and purchased a soda from a vending
machine D had installed in the employees' lounge on the premises. The violation was that D
did not report that he was leaving the guardhouse and obtain a substitute to cover Post No.
1 in his absence. On his return to Post No. 1, P slipped on a staircase. He immediately
complained of a knee injury and in due course sought benefits under Workers' Compensation.
The ALJ denied the claim in that P had violated a work place rule. The Review Board Agreed
in that P knowingly violated D’s rules. This appeal resulted.
