We granted Collie Concessions’s application for a discretionary appeal to review the order of the superior court reversing the Appellate Division of the State Board of Workers Compensation’s adoption of the administrative law judge’s “ALJ” denial of benefits to Lillie Bruce. Based on the reasons set forth below, we reverse. In the absence of legal error, the factual findings of the State Board of Workers’ Compensation must be affirmed by the superior court and by the Court of Appeals when supported by any evidence in the administrative record. However, erroneous applications of law to undisputed facts, as well as decisions based on erroneous theories of law, are subject to the de novo standard of review.1 The facts are undisputed, and our review is de novo. The injury occurred on April 10, 2002, when Bruce was on her way to work as a cashier for Collie Concessions at the Masters Golf Tournament. Collie Concessions had a contract with Augusta National Golf Club/Masters Tournament to provide food and beverage concession services for the Masters Golf Tournament. Bruce only worked for Collie Concessions during the week of the Masters and had done so annually since 1981. On the day in question, Bruce rode to work with Mae and Rebecca Gilmer, with whom she had been riding for the previous 12 to 14 years. Gilmer parked in the yard of a house located on the corner of Cherry Lane and Berckman Road the “Cherry Lane lot”.2 Collie Concessions had been allotted by the tournament director 25 passes for its employees to park in this lot. It gave them to its cashiers, managers, and assistant managers on a first come first serve basis. Collie Concessions did not own, maintain, or have control of the Cherry Lane lot. The lot was also utilized by persons unaffiliated with Collie Concessions.
Bruce was assigned to Concession Stand 5 and was required to enter the tournament grounds through Gate 7, which was located on Berckman Road. The Cherry Lane lot was located approximately 100 yards south of Gate 7. When Bruce reached the temporary pedestrian crosswalk that traversed Berckman Road and ended at Gate 7, she began to cross the street and was struck by a motor vehicle.
