Grant, Gayle

The First District Court of Appeal denied the defendant San Mateo County Transit District's Petition for Writ of Review and remanded the matter to the WCAB to make a supplemental award of reasonable attorney fees to applicant's counsel for services rendered defending against the writ petition, pursuant to Labor Code section 5801. On remand, applicant's attorney and defense counsel submitted a stipulation agreeing that defendant would pay $1,498.00 in appellate attorney fees. The Board reviewed the record and, in view of the parties' stipulation, found the agreed fee amount reasonable. The Board issued an award of $1,498.00 in favor of attorney Brian J. Thornton against the defendant, in addition to any compensation otherwise paid or payable to the applicant.
