MULTIPLE LATE PAYMENT PENALTIES DENIED

The Michigan Court of Appeals, in Tew v Hillside Tool & Manufacturing Company, ___ Mich App ___ (2005), on remand from the Michigan Supreme Court, upheld the decision of the magistrate and the Workers’ Compensation Appellate Commission to award only one $1,500.00 late payment penalty for multiple late payments of medical expenses. Plaintiff had multiple bills from multiple health care providers for treatment regarding multiple parts of his body. He sought a $1,500.00 penalty for the late payment of each bill. The Court of Appeals’ Decision was consistent with a previous Michigan Supreme Court case, Townsend v M-R Products, Inc., 436 Mich 496; 461 NW2d 696 (1990). 10/17/05
