Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Workers' Compensation
(Court opinion corrected 12/19/11.) Employer refused to pay undisputed portions of claimant's benefits until appeals were exhausted on unrelated issue. Any portion of a claimant's benefits which are undisputed must be promptly paid or employer is subject to Section 19(k) penalties and Section 16 attorney fees. Employer's intentional delay served no purpose but to delay compensation to injured worker. (McCULLOUGH, HOFFMAN, HUDSON, and HOLDRIDGE, concurring.)
