    Date:
    12/31/1969
    Note:

    California v. Industrial Accident Commission and Gust Erickson
    Date:

    The question here is not what the Legislature might have done with respect to providing for retrospective application of the portions of section 5500.5, which are here involved, but what it did do. It used no language showing that it intended retrospective effect and, therefore, under the rules carefully stated and followed in the Aetna case, no such effect will be given under the guise of construction.
