An agreed settlement may be approved by the Workers' Compensation Court while a petition for review is pending in this Court. The parties need not seek approval of the appellate court to pursue a joint settlement before the Workers' Compensation Court. However, when the parties seek a joint settlement before the Workers' Compensation Court they shall file in the appellate court a joint motion to stay the appellate review proceeding for a period specified in the motion. The Workers' Compensation Court is responsible for filing, forthwith, a copy of the approved settlement order, bearing the Supreme Court number, in this Court. That filing shall constitute a dismissal of the pending review without further order of this Court.

Adopted by order of the Supreme Court, eff. January 1, 1997. Amended by order of the Supreme Court, 2012 OK 57, eff. September 1, 2012. (superseded document available)
