dismissed Ford’s MWA claim on the ground that the statute of limitations had expired.

The appellee’s case made its way to this court by way of an unusual journey. The appellee originally had his case dismissed by a general court-martial convening authority (GCMCA) following an Article 32, UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. § 832, investigation. Shortly after dismissal, the acting Secretary of the Air Force transferred the appellee’s case to a different convening authority who ultimately referred th

The Workers' Compensation system has been described as an historic "trade-off" whereby employees relinquish their right to pursue common-law remedies in exchange for prompt and automatic entitlement to benefits for work-related injuries. Millison v. E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 101 N.J. 161, 174, 501 A.2d 505 (1985). That characterization is only broadly accurate. In fact, not every worker inj
