Case Name Branco v. Race Street Fish & Poultry (WCAB En Banc)
Date 01/31/1978
Note Lien claimant responsible for 'fair share' of atty. fee award under certain circumstances.
Citation 43 CCC 10
WCC Citation WCC 27161978 CA
Reconsideration was granted in order to further study and research the application of the Board's en banc decision in Cabello v. NL Industries [(1976)] 41 CCC 605. A $ 200. 00 attorney's fee was awarded by the trial judge from the applicant's portion of the stipulated award. The Board in their en banc decision applied Quinn v. State of California [(1975)] 15 Cal. 1, 539 P. 2d 761] and apportioned the $ 200. 00 attorney's fee between the Employment Development Department and the applicant's portion of the award. Like the instant case, Quinn dealt with a claim by an employee for apportionment of the attorney's fee.
