CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns Defendant's petition for reconsideration of an order approving a $50,000 settlement for Applicant's workers' compensation claims. Defendant argued the order incorrectly failed to credit $5,913.87 in permanent disability advances paid to Applicant. However, the Compromise and Release agreement clearly indicated zero permanent disability advances and explicitly settled that issue. The Appeals Board found no evidence of mutual mistake and denied reconsideration, ruling that Defendant's failure to ensure the credit was included in the agreement constituted a unilateral mistake due to their own neglect.
