Summary

Applicant's attorney filed a Petition for Reconsideration challenging a provision in an April 7, 2022 Order Approving Compromise and Release that purported to resolve attorney's fees under Labor Code section 5710, and from a January 26, 2024 order denying continuance. The petition was filed on the eve of a February 8, 2024 trial that was set to decide the very issues raised. The Appeals Board found that the attorney was improperly seeking summary judgment without a developed record, in violation of section 5313, Hamilton, and CCR section 10515. The Board denied reconsideration of the OACR, dismissed reconsideration to the extent it sought removal from the continuance denial, and granted removal on its own motion under section 5310 to investigate potential sanctions and costs. The Board deferred a final decision pending further review and noted the petition may have been filed solely to delay trial.
