AFTER REMAND

GRIFFIN, J.

This lawsuit, which arose out of a claim for workers' compensation, is about the award of an attorney's fee and whether it was authorized. The issue presented is one of statutory construction. Because under the circumstances in this case the Workers' Disability Compensation Act1 imposes no liability upon the employer for the attorney fee in question, we reverse the decision of the Court of Appeals.
