In the Matter of the Compensation of Delbert Hutchinson, Claimant. HUTCHINSON, Petitioner — Cross-Respondent, v. LOUISIANA-PACIFIC CORPORATION, Respondent — Cross-Petitioner, and TIMBERLAND LOGGING COMPANY et al, Respondents — Cross-Respondents.

RICHARDSON, P.J.

Reconsideration allowed; reversed and remanded for determination of attorney fees; otherwise affirmed.

RICHARDSON, P.J.

Petitioner — cross-respondent requests reconsideration of our decision in this case, 80 Or. App. 276, 720 P.2d 1350 (1986), pursuant to ORAP 10.10. We allow the petition, modify our decision and affirm it as modified.

On review, petitioner contended that the Workers' Compensation Board erred in denying penalties and attorney fees which he requested because of SAIF's late denial of his workers' compensation claim. ORS 656.262(10). We affirmed the Board's decision without opinion. Petitioner points out that, under Spivey v. SAIF, 79 Or. App. 568, 720 P.2d 755 (1986), he is entitled to attorney fees. He is not entitled to a penalty for the tardy denial, because there was no compensation then due on which to base a penalty. He is, however, entitled to attorney fees. Spivey v. SAIF, supra.

Reconsideration allowed; reversed and remanded for determination of attorney fees; otherwise affirmed.
