CRB Case Annotations re: Section 31-290
Obligations not to be evaded.
Dowling Considine v. Slotnik, 3468 CRB-4-96-11 (May 6, 1998).
Claimant and respondent cannot create binding settlement without approval of
trial commissioner. Letter from claimant’s attorney to respondents indicating
that the claimant would not seek compensation under Act even if stipulation
was not approved does not operate to bargain away claimant’s rights under the
Act. See, Dowling, § 31-296, §
31-301. Appeal procedure. See also,
Dowling, § 31-301(f). Prior decision at, Dowling, 3062 CRB-4-95-5, 3277 CRB-4-96-2 (February 5, 1997), aff’d, rev’d and remanded in part, 244 Conn. 781 (1998) (with dissenting opinion) at §
31-275(9), §
31-288, §
31-301 Appeal Procedure, §
31-307.
