Municipality of Anchorage and Novapro Risk Solutions, Adjuster, Petitioners v. John E. Adamson, Respondent; Calli…

Summary

The court held that future medical benefits awarded by the Workers' Compensation Board are continuing future periodic compensation payments under the governing stay statute. An employer seeking to stay those benefits during an appeal must show irreparable damage and a probability that the appeal will be decided adversely to the compensation recipient. The court affirmed the denial of a stay in Adamson's case, vacated the stay in Olsen's case, and remanded for application of the correct standard.
