Spivey Ex Rel. Spivey v. Carolina Crawler

HEARN, C.J.:

Chris Spivey brought this action against Carolina Crawler, his employer, and Travelers Property and Casualty Co., insurance carrier for Carolina Crawler, seeking review of a clincher settlement that limited his recovery of compensation under the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act. This appeal consolidated Spivey’s appeal from the circuit court’s dismissal of the action for lack of jurisdiction, and the Employer and Carrier’s appeal from the full commission’s reopening of the clincher agreement on the issue of fraud. We affirm in part and dismiss in part.
