§ 22-3-4-9 — Contracts; private agreements; appeals

(a) Upon order of the worker's compensation
board made after five (5) days notice is given to the opposite party, any
party in interest may file in the circuit or superior court of the county
in which the injury occurred a certified copy of the memorandum of
agreement approved by the board, or of an order or decision of the
board, or of an award of the full board unappealed from, or of an award
of the full board affirmed upon an appeal, whereupon said court shall
render judgment in accordance therewith and notify the parties. Such
judgment shall have the same effect and all proceedings in relation
thereto shall thereafter be the same as though said judgment had been
rendered in a suit duly heard and determined by said court.
(b) Any such judgment of said circuit or superior court unappealed
from or affirmed on appeal or modified in obedience to the mandate of
the court of appeals shall be modified to conform to any decision of the
worker's compensation board ending, diminishing, or increasing any
weekly payment under the provisions of IC 22-3-3-27 upon the
presentation to it of a certified copy of such decision.
