Decision

Decision  James Hopkins v. Digital Equipment Corp.

Date: 09/08/1999
Organization: Department of Industrial Accidents
Docket Number: DIA Board No. 083147-89
Location: Boston
  • Employee: James Hopkins
  • Employer: Digital Equipment Corp.
  • Insurer: Liberty Mutual Insurance Co.

CARROLL, J. The employee appeals from an amended decision, which increased his earning capacity and awarded a reduced attorney’s fee. We summarily affirm the earning capacity determination. But because the administrative judge reduced the attorney’s fee for reasons other than those allowed by G.L. c. 152, § 13A(5), we reverse the fee award and award the statutory fee.
