CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to correct a clerical error, but affirmed the WCJ's finding that the lien claimant CCPOA Benefit Trust Fund (CCPOA) was not entitled to interest, penalties, costs, or attorney's fees. CCPOA sought these remedies due to alleged late payment of its lien by the defendant. The Board determined that Labor Code sections 5800 and 5814 penalties are payable only to injured employees, not lien claimants, and found no evidence of bad faith or frivolous delay by the defendant to warrant sanctions under Labor Code section 5813.
