Outcome
The court reversed the CRB's decision denying workers' compensation benefits and remanded the case for proper application of the 'localized principally' test under the District of Columbia Workers' Compensation Act. The lower courts erred by not properly analyzing the first prong of the test regarding where the principal service (plumbing) was performed.
