Ottway Burton, Asheboro, for plaintiff appellant.
No counsel, contra.
There has been no determination as to the reasonableness or unreasonableness of the fee claimed in this matter. The only question involved is whether the order entered by the full Commission under date of 15 January 1968 was proper under the facts of this case.
G.S. § 97-90(c) provides:
In this case Mr. Burton had an agreement for fee, and he complied with the statutory requirement and filed same with either the hearing officer or the Commission prior to the conclusion of the hearing. The order approving compromise settlement agreement was entered by Commissioner Shuford 29 July 1966, and in that order a counsel fee in the amount of $300 was approved. The provisions of the statute were not followed.
Mr. Burton is entitled to have the statute complied with and the reasonableness or unreasonableness of his fee agreement determined.
Remanded to Commission.
