This case concerns an interpreter's petition for sanctions against an insurance fund for delayed payment of an invoice. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, finding the defendant's almost year-long delay in paying a $156.50 invoice and issuing irrelevant objections in its Explanation of Review constituted bad faith under Labor Code section 5813. The Board rescinded the previous order and returned the matter to the WCJ for further proceedings to determine appropriate sanctions for the defendant's actions.
