1Opinion of the Court
Pee Curiam.
Writ of certiorari to review an order of the Workmen’s Compensation Commission vacating an earlier award based upon a settlement. The issue is whether the commission abused its discretion by so ordering. We hold that it did not.
The commission has authority to set aside an award based on a settlement even when, as here, the settlement contains a provision to the contrary, the test being the same as for deciding whether to set aside any award, that is, whether there is good cause for setting aside the award. Minn. St. 176.461 and 176.521. Mattson v. Abate, 279 Minn. 287, 156 N. W. 2d…
