Mitchell v. Goodyear Service Store

SMITH, Judge.

We shall hold in this case that an appeal to the circuit court of the amount of an attorney’s fee in a workmen’s compensation case is not to be tried de novo. We also shall hold that under the circumstances of this case the Workmen’s Compensation Commission is entitled to appear as an appellee in the circuit court, the Court of Special Appeals, and this Court. Hence, we shall affirm the judgment of the Court of Special Appeals in Mitchell v. Goodyear Service Store, 63 Md.App. 426, 492 A.2d 984 (1985). We disagree with its conclusion relative to the Commission, however.
