CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the prior award because it was unclear and unenforceable. The Board found the Administrative Law Judge erred by issuing an award with unspecified credits for payments to EDD and the applicant, and by not clearly defining defendant's liability. The case is returned to the trial level to clarify the exact amounts due, resolve the EDD lien, determine attorney's fees, and clearly outline the defendant's credit for indemnity already paid. The Board affirmed the ALJ's analysis on all other respects.
