Gena Davis v. Scdc

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' decision, modifying it to reinstate the single commissioner’s interlocutory order and remand the case to the Workers' Compensation Commission. The Court clarified that a single commissioner’s order returning a claim to the Commission’s files is not an “award” and therefore not immediately appealable, and that the Court of Appeals properly exercised jurisdiction to review the Appellate Panel’s order because immediate review was necessary to avoid an inadequate remedy.
