EDMOND HAKAKHA vs. CVS PHARMACY
The Appeals Board granted removal to reconsider its prior decision that rescinded a Joint Findings and Award. The prior decision found insufficient record to support attorney's fees and sanctions awarded by the WCJ for the defendant's failure to comply with a subpoena duces tecum. Upon review, the Board found the record sufficient to support the $9,100.00 attorney's fee award, as the defendant admitted non-compliance and offered no excuse. The Board also determined the WCJ did not abuse discretion regarding sanctions and reinstated the original award.
