Lindemer, J.
(dissenting). Const 1963, art 6, § 28 and MCLA 418.861; MSA 17.237(861), make findings of fact by the Workmen’s Compensation Ap*638peal Board conclusive absent fraud. In this case, fraud is not alleged and the subjective testimony of the plaintiff supported by the testimony of his wife is evidence that is competent, material and substantial. I am unable to conclude, however, that White v Michigan Consolidated Gas Co, 352 Mich 201; 89 NW2d 439 (1958), and Lyczynski v Mohawk Lumber & Supply Co, 33 Mich App 433; 190 NW2d 328 (1971), deserve the casual treatment afforded in the majority opinion. For that reason and for the reasons expressed in its opinion, I would affirm the Court of Appeals.
Moreover, the file in this matter discloses unconscionable delay on the part of plaintiff herein. I would deny costs.
Coleman, J., concurred with Lindemer, J.
