Powell v. Erb5/22/1998
, 244 Md. 348, 223 A.2d 763 (1966), both lex loci delecti cases, that this Court would not reach a contrary result. Id. at 3.
The Hauch Court commented on the federal court's holding, but declined, because not presented, "to decide whether the choice of law provision of the wrongful death act extends beyond substantive tort issues and encompasses the question of entitlement to bring an action in light of workmen's compensation law." 295 Md. at 131, n.7, 453 A.2d at 1213, n.7. Nor did we have an occasion to address the issue in Twiford, in which, again, only personal injuries were involved. That issue is now squarely before us and we expressly reject the Wilson analysis, reaffirming, as we have seen, that applied in Hauch. When there is a conflict between the workers' compensation laws of two states, the Wrongful Death statute is not dispositive.
CERTIFIED
QUESTION ANSWERED AS HEREIN SET FORTH. COSTS IN THIS COURT TO BE EVENLY DIVIDED.
