CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) rescinded the previous award due to procedural issues. The WCAB found that the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) failed to make a clear finding on the disputed amount of unpaid temporary disability benefits and incorrectly treated the defendant's payment of regular salary as a stipulated fact regarding credit. Additionally, the WCAB determined that the defendant was denied due process regarding the imposition of sanctions and attorney's fees, as these issues were not properly raised at trial. The case is remanded to the trial level for further proceedings to address these factual and procedural deficiencies.
