In the case of Caryl Erickson vs. Southern California Permanente Medical Group, the WCAB has amended a WCJ's decision regarding attorneys fees involving this apportionment case, ruling that the issue should await decision by the Supreme Court on the underlying issue of how to calculate apportionment under the new code sections. (Click here for our earlier article on the Supreme Court's November 15, 2006 decision to review the Brodie case.)

This comes as no great surprise given that the WCAB has already deferred reconsidering all cases involving the calculation-of-apportionment issue pending the Supreme Court's decision (click here to read about this earlier WCAB pronouncement).
