CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns a defendant's challenge to an order compelling payment of an Employment Development Department (EDD) lien. The defendant argued it shouldn't pay the lien as there was no determination of applicant's entitlement to temporary disability benefits when EDD payments were made. However, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) affirmed the judge's order to pay the EDD lien. The Board found the defendant's petition for reconsideration flawed as it failed to address the stipulation to pay EDD signed by defense counsel. Since the defendant did not seek relief from the binding stipulation, the WCAB upheld the original order.
