Here's a summary of the case for a lawyer, in four sentences:

The Board granted reconsideration to rescind the WCJ's decision, finding no unreasonable delay in the defendant's payment of a Compromise and Release settlement. The Board determined the delay was due to an inadvertent typographical error in the address for one of three settlement checks, not bad faith or intentional delay by the defendant. Consequently, penalties and attorney fees related to the alleged delay were denied. The Board also found no basis for sanctions under Labor Code section 5813.
