TERRY GREEN vs. PENN CONSTRUCTION, PETE ESKIS, NATIONWIDE INSURANCE COMPANY, ALLIED GROUP, UNINSURED EMPLOYERS BENEFITS TRUST FUND

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded an order awarding applicant's attorney fees for attending a co-defendant's deposition. The Board found that Labor Code section 5710 only authorizes attorney fees for the applicant's deposition, not for attending a co-defendant's. Therefore, the WCJ exceeded their jurisdiction in awarding fees under this section.
