Cone Mills Corp., 315 N.C. 127, 337 S.E.2d 477 (1985), and, further, based on excusable neglect of counsel in responding to a recently implemented Commission procedure for service of deputy commissioner opinions by facsimile transmission, the full Commission hereby GRANTS the relief requested and orders that this case be set for hearing before a panel of the full Commission, which will render a decision on the merits of the case.
