History: 1936 (S.S.), ch. 1, § 18; 1941 Comp., § 57-821; 1953 Comp., § 59-9-21; Laws 1979, ch. 280, § 43.
Interest not recoverable from employer where not recoverable from department. — Where the commission (now department) itself took a timely appeal, thus staying execution and delaying the payment of claims, and the commission (now department) is not liable for interest, it would be illogical to hold that appellants could recover from the employer when they could not do so from the commission (department). Bateman v. Kennecott Copper Corp., 1969-NMSC-126, 80 N.M. 778, 461 P.2d 911.
