HARPIN, J. Both parties appeal from a decision finding the claimant was an independent contractor, denying her claim for benefits, allowing the recoupment of benefits paid pursuant to a conference order, and denying the insurer’s claim for penalties pursuant to G.L. c. 152, § 14(2).2 The claimant argues the judge’s employee/independent contractor analysis was flawed. The insurer argues the claimant presented untruthful testimony and thereby should have been liable for costs and penalties under § 14(2). We affirm.
