CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of a decision holding defendants liable for interest on an Employment Development Department (EDD) lien. The Board found defendants' arguments that stipulations absolved them of interest liability and that applicant should pay were meritless, as the EDD was not a party to the stipulations. Furthermore, Unemployment Insurance Code section 2629.1(e) clearly places interest liability on the employer. Consequently, the Board granted removal on its own motion to consider imposing sanctions against defendants' attorney for misrepresenting the law and record.
