Kentucky Supreme Court August 23, 2007, 2006-SC-000678-WC (Southeast Coal Co. v. Mansfield)

OPINION OF THE COURT

This appeal concerns an Administrative Law Judge’s (ALJ’s) order denying the claimant’s post-award “Motion to Suspend Deductions from Plaintiffs Weekly Benefits.” The Workers’ Compensation Board set the decision aside on the grounds that the ALJ lacked jurisdiction under KRS 342.125 and that circuit court was the sole forum for enforcing an award.
