They sought approval from the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission, which declined on the grounds that it lacked authority to approve it as a settlement or a commutation. The Missouri Supreme Court affirmed the Commission's decision, holding that a post-award agreement to commute benefits is not a \"claim\" for settlement purposes under section 287.390 and that the proposed lump sum failed to meet the financial equivalency requirements for a commutation under section 287.530.","primaryTopic":"workers-compensation","topicSlugs":["workers-compensation","administrative-law","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=125740","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/andrew-dickemann-appellant-v-costco-wholesale-corporation-respondent-c96513","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":20,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"workers-compensation","label":"Workers' Compensation","href":"/practice-areas/workers-compensation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/workers-compensation"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"},{"caseId":"moappd:ed105266:2017-05-23","opinionId":"efc214ad-f65d-53de-9216-3e1752ecb859","slug":"andrew-dickemann-appellant-v-costco-wholesale-corporation-respondent-105266","caseName":"Andrew Dickemann, Appellant, vs. Costco Wholesale Corporation, Respondent.","caseNumber":"ED105266","court":"moappd","courtLabel":"Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District","decisionDate":"2017-05-23","year":2017,"display_summary":null,"primaryTopic":null,"topicSlugs":[],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=113168","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/andrew-dickemann-appellant-v-costco-wholesale-corporation-respondent-105266","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":20,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
