Commission grants request for stay of operation of payment pending appeal

The applicant sought an order to stay a decision of the Commission, which declared that the respondent was denied a benefit under his employment contract and was entitled to receive $10,000, pending the determination of an appeal against that decision.

Chief Commissioner Kenner raised with the parties the prospect whether an agreement could be reached whereby the monies ordered to be paid in the original decision be paid into a trust account, pending the hearing and determination of the appeal, to which the parties agreed.

As a result, the Chief Commissioner then made an order and declaration that the Commission’s order pertaining to payment be stayed pending the hearing and determination of the appeal, and that the funds be paid by the applicant into a trust account pending the same.
