CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to reverse a prior finding that the defendant was liable for the applicant's attorney fees under Labor Code section 4064(c). The Board held that this section only applies when an employer files an application for adjudication and the employee is unrepresented at that time, which was not the case here as the applicant was already represented. Therefore, the defendant is not liable for the $13,125.00 in attorney fees.
