Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Workers’ Compensation Act
(Court opinion corrected 6/2/17.) Claimant sought workers' compensation benefits for injury allegedly sustained while working for Respondent hotel. Parties executed lump-sum, settlement contract which provided that Respondent had paid all of Claimant's medical bills. Circuit court, pursuant to Section 19(g) of Workers' Compensation Act, is proper venue to seek enforcement of a Commission's final award. Imposition of penalties and attorney fees in this case was improper because Claimant abandoned his request for such relief. (HOLDRIDGE, HOFFMAN, HARRIS, and MOORE, concurring.)
