LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 142

[(iii) The Commission thereupon shall
notify each self-insured employer, each insurance carrier,
and the State Accident Fund that the contributions are to be
resumed as of a specified date and to continue until the
fund again amounts to $500,000.]

93.

[Upon notice to the fund, the] 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.

94.

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. THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FUND IS AUTHORIZED
ONLY TO REPRESENT THE UNINSURED EMPLOYERS' FUND UNDER THE
DIRECTION OF THE COMMISSION, AND MAY NOT REPRESENT ANY OTHER
PARTY IN INTEREST IN ANY CLAIM UNDER THIS ARTICLE.

95.

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 § 90 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].
