ENRIQUE DOMINGUEZ vs. WHOLE FOODS MARKETS, Permissibly SelfInsured

This case involves a dispute over attorney's fees for applicant's attorney arising from deposition conduct. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration of a prior decision awarding attorney's fees. The Board found that while the applicant's attorney was entitled to fees under Labor Code section 5710(b)(4), the conduct of both attorneys during a deposition was unprofessional. The WCAB ultimately affirmed the award of attorney's fees but also addressed the attorneys' unprofessional conduct.
