(Sept. 29, 2009) The Supreme Court of Ohio ruled today that a decision of the Industrial Commission refusing to discontinue a previously approved claim for workers’ compensation benefits does not involve the claimant’s right to participate in the workers’ compensation fund under R.C. 4123.512, and therefore is not a decision subject to review by a court of common pleas. The Court’s lead opinion was authored by Justice Judith Ann Lanzinger.
