CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board dismissed SCIF's petition for reconsideration of an approved Compromise and Release (C&R) settlement. SCIF argued the C&R incorrectly stated attorney's fees were $2,050 instead of $2,250 and that SCIF should hold the fees in trust. The Board found SCIF was not aggrieved by the fee amount, as it was a stakeholder with no interest in the $200 difference. Furthermore, the Board determined SCIF was not aggrieved by the lack of a trust order, as the representing attorney could manage the disbursement themselves.
