LEVINE, J. The employee, the employer and the insurer all appeal from a decision in which an administrative judge denied the employee’s claim for the reason that the claim was barred by a previous lump sum agreement. (Dec. 515.) The judge also denied the insurer's claim for penalties under §14 of the act and awarded the employee attorney’s fees. Id. We reverse the decision and recommit the case to the administrative judge for a hearing de novo.
