Sec. 9. (a) Upon order of the worker's compensation board made
after five (5) days notice is given to the opposite party, any party in
interest may file in the circuit or superior court of the county in
which the injury occurred a certified copy of the memorandum of
agreement approved by the board, or of an order or decision of the
board, or of an award of the full board unappealed from, or of an
award of the full board affirmed upon an appeal, whereupon said
court shall render judgment in accordance therewith and notify the
parties. Such judgment shall have the same effect and all proceedings
in relation thereto shall thereafter be the same as though said
judgment had been rendered in a suit duly heard and determined by
said court.
(b) Any such judgment of said circuit or superior court
unappealed from or affirmed on appeal or modified in obedience to
the mandate of the court of appeals shall be modified to conform to
any decision of the worker's compensation board ending,
diminishing, or increasing any weekly payment under the provisions
of IC 22-3-3-27 upon the presentation to it of a certified copy of such
decision.
