- Employee: Joseph Vallieres
- Employer: Charles Smith Steel, Inc.
- Insurer: American Home Assurance Ins. Co.
HORAN, J. The employee appeals from a decision denying his claim for § 36 benefits in excess of the amount ordered at conference, while allowing the insurer's request for recoupment of the § 13A(4) attorney's fee and expenses awarded at conference. We summarily affirm the decision on the § 36 issue. However, we reverse the decision insofar as it authorized the insurer to recoup the attorney's fee and expenses paid pursuant to the conference order.
