CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board rescinded a prior award, returning the case to the administrative law judge for recalculation of permanent disability indemnity and attorney fees. This decision was based on the California Supreme Court's ruling in Brodie v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd., which clarified that the "subtracting percentages from percentages" method remains the proper approach for permanent disability apportionment post-Senate Bill 899. The Board directed the judge to apply Brodie and conduct further proceedings as needed.
