Description
An arbitrator for the Industrial Commission on November 20, 1979, awarded petitioner, Russell Riley, workmen's compensation for a period of 23 3/7 weeks of temporary total disability (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 48, par. 138.8(b)) and for 1% permanent partial disability (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 48, par. 138.8(d)(2)) suffered as the result of accidental injuries sustained while in the employ of respondent, McKay Plating Company. Cross reviews were filed and, without taking additional evidence, the Industrial Commission set aside the decision of the arbitrator and awarded petitioner compensation for a period of 26 3/7 weeks of temporary total disability and for 20% permanent partial disability. The Commission also found that respondent, without just and good cause, failed, neglected and refused to pay weekly compensation benefits and awarded petitioner the additional sum of $2,500 as provided in section 19(l) of the Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 48, par. 138.19(l)). The Commission also found an unreasonable and vexatious delay in the payment of compensation during a portion of the period of temporary total disability and, pursuant to section 19(k) of the Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 48, par. 138.19(k)), awarded petitioner an additional sum in the amount of 50% of the compensation payable during that period of temporary total disability. Pursuant to section 16 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 48, par. 138.16) the Commission awarded petitioner attorney fees in the amount of 20% of the compensation awarded under sections 8(b), 19(l), and 19(k) of the Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 48, pars. 138.8(b), 138.19(l), 138.19(k)). Respondent sought certiorari, and the circuit court of Rock Island County reversed the decision of the Commission as contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence and reinstated the decision of the arbitrator. Petitioner appealed pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 302(a). 73 Ill.2d R. 302(a).
