12. The director, in any case in which an award of compensation payable by an uninsured employer or an assessment has been ordered by the director, shall file with the Clerk of the Superior Court, (1) a statement containing the findings of fact, conclusions of law, award and judgment of the judge making the award, or (2) a certified copy of the director’s order imposing, and the demand for payment of, the assessment, and, the filing of that statement or order, as the case may be, shall have the same effect and may be collected and docketed in the same manner as judgments rendered in causes tried in the Superior Court. The court shall vacate or modify such judgment to conform to any later award or decision by any authorized officer of the division upon presentation of a statement thereof as provided for above. The award may be compromised by the Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development as in his discretion may best serve the interest of the persons entitled to receive the compensation or benefits.
