66.

(5) In any case which shall come before the
Workmen's Compensation Commission involving payments from
the fund, it shall request the Attorney General to
furnish a member of his staff to represent the fund in
hearings before it. In any award it shall make from the
fund, the Commission shall specifically find the amount
the injured employee shall be paid weekly, the number of
weeks' compensation to be paid, the date upon which
payments from the fund shall begin, and, if possible, the
length of time such payments shall continue. In making
any award from the fund for a subsequent injury, the
Commission shall consider any prior award made by the
Commission, or by a similar commission in any other state
or in the District of Columbia, in determining the amount
to be awarded for such subsequent injury. In the event
of any award against the Subsequent Injury Fund, there
shall be a right of appeal by the Subsequent Injury Fund,
as provided in § 56 (a) of this article. In any case
involving payment from the fund, the Commission, or any
party in interest, shall notify the State Treasurer
and/or the attorney or the attorneys for the fund, in
writing, that the fund is, or may be involved in such
case, and implead the fund, in writing, as a party. The
fund may be impleaded at any stage of the proceedings,
either before the Commission, or on appeal; but if
impleaded on appeal from the decision of the Commission
or on further appeal to the [Special] Court of SPECIAL
Appeals, the Court shall suspend further proceedings and
remand the case to the Commission for further proceedings
in order to afford the fund an opportunity to defend the
claim.
