Description
On this review of an Industrial Commission award we are required to determine whether the Industrial Commission correctly held that it lacked jurisdiction to hold a hearing because of the employees alleged failure to timely seek review of the carriers denial of a petition to reopen. Omitting facts not pertinent to the question raised, the Industrial Commissions claims file shows that the petitioning employee had suffered a compensable injury in 1962 which culminated in an award finding no permanent disability. Thereafter on May 14, 1969 the employee filed a petition to reopen with the Industrial Commission. The Commission then notified the respondent carrier, the State Compensation Fund, of the filing of the petition to reopen. Under A.R.S. ร§ 23-1061, subsec. I, within fourteen days after the date of the notice received from the Commission the carrier is required to "* * * in writing notify the commission and the employee * * * of its acceptance or denial of the petition."
