Butkovich v. Industrial Commission

VOLLACK, Justice.

We granted certiorari in these two consolidated cases to review the question of whether the mailing of a petition for review of a workers’ compensation decision entered by the Industrial Commission to the Attorney General is sufficient to constitute proper service on the Industrial Commission.
