Terms Used In Indiana Code 27-7-2-9

  • Bureau: means the worker's compensation rating bureau of Indiana. See Indiana Code 27-7-2-2
  • Commissioner: means the insurance commissioner of this state. See Indiana Code 27-7-2-2
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts

And said commissioner shall determine the matter or matters and mail a copy of his decision to each member of the bureau. The decision of the commissioner shall be final.
