CCR §10842

Summary

Applicant's attorney filed a Petition for Reconsideration on his own behalf, challenging the WCJ's January 26, 2022 Findings of Fact and Order Releasing Funds Withheld. The petition sought an increase in attorney's fees. The Board dismissed the petition because the attorney failed to comply with WCAB Rule 10842, which requires proof of service on the applicant of written notice of the attorney's adverse interest and the applicant's right to seek independent counsel. The Board found no evidence that such notice had been served. The Board added that, even if it were not dismissing for the rule violation, it would have denied the petition on the merits for the reasons stated in the WCJ's report.
