AC46781 - Pelc v. Southington Dental Associates, P.C. (“In this attorney’s fees dispute, the appellant, the Law Offices of Levine & Levine, appeals from the decision of the Compensation Review Board (board), which affirmed the decision of the administrative law judge denying the appellant’s motions to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and for a stay of proceedings, and continuing a formal hearing to take evidence on the question of how to allocate an escrowed attorney’s fee between the appellant and the appellee, Walker, Feigenbaum & Cantarella Law Group, LLC. On appeal, the appellant argues that (1) the board improperly affirmed the administrative law judge’s conclusion that an alleged violation of General Statutes § 1-84b (b) could not serve as a basis for denying the appellee quantum meruit recovery of a portion of the escrowed attorney’s fee; (2) the board improperly affirmed the administrative law judge’s conclusion that the appellant lacked an enforceable award of attorney’s fees pursuant to General Statutes § 31-327 (a);4 (3) the entire Workers’ Compensation Commission (commission) should have disqualified itself from hearing these proceedings; and (4) the board overlooked the administrative law judge’s alleged violation of the appellant’s right to be heard and concomitant violation of the appellant’s due process rights. We dismiss the appeal as to the appellant’s first claim and affirm the decision of the board in all other respects.”)
