Patterson Steel Co. v. Bailey

I cannot agree with the opinion of the majority wherein the term “award,” as used in our Work'men's Compensation Act, is defined. The majority opinion states:

“It is further clear that the term ‘award’ is used by the Legislature as meaning a decision or finding of the Commission, and that the question as to -whether or not the claimant was successful in getting the award in his favor, or the insurance carrier or the employer getting the award in their favor, is by no means decisive.”

It is not clear to me that the term “award” is susceptible of such a definition, for this court no longer ago…
