Such statement shall be open to public inspection in the office of the
Commission.

88.

Upon notice to the Fund, the Commission, if in its discretion
it deems the interests of the Fund will be best served thereby, may
compromise the amount for which judgment has been entered
against an employer pursuant to this subtitle and the judgment
entered may be modified accordingly. Such compromise shall be
effective without the necessity of obtaining the approval of any
other state officials thereto, but shall not reduce the amount of
benefits payable to or on behalf of any claimant.

89.

The Commission shall request the Attorney General to furnish
a member of his staff to serve as the representative of the Fund
and shall assign to assist him in the discharge of his duties as such
representative, such other employees of the Commission as may be
necessary for this purpose. Such representative may apply to the
Commission for authority to hire such medical and other experts
and to defray the expense thereof and of such witnesses as are
necessary to a proper defense of the claim within an amount in
the discretion of the Commission and, if authorized, such amount
shall be a charge against the Fund. The representative of the Fund
may appear for and represent the interest of the Fund in any case
in court involving the rights of the Fund against another not in
the same employ as the employee who received benefits under this
article and whose injury or death was caused by the negligence or
wrong of such other.

90.

The provisions of this article with respect to procedure and the
right to appeal to the courts shall be reserved to the claimant, and
to the uninsured employer, and to the Fund, in the event the Fund,
pursuant to Section 85 of this subtitle, has objected to the findings
and decision on which an award is based, the award made, or the
liability of the Fund for payment thereof.

91.

All the rights, powers and benefits of the employer under this
article shall become the rights, powers and benefits of the Fund in
any case in which the Fund has paid or is paying compensation
to an injured employee or his dependents under this subtitle. If
the employer has also paid compensation to or on behalf of the
injured employee or his dependents in such case any recovery by
the Fund shall first be applied to repayment of any awards paid
by the Fund to or on behalf of the injured employee or his de-
pendents in such case, the balance then applied to any outstanding
unsatisfied demand for security in said case and assessments im-
posed against the employer pursuant to the provisions of this sub-
title, the remainder, if any, to be returned to the employer. If the
employer has also paid compensation to or on behalf of the injured
employee or his dependents in such case, that portion, if any, of a
recovery by the Fund which is in excess of the total amount of
