. The appeals board in its award may fix and determine the
total amount of compensation to be paid and specify the manner of
payment, or may fix and determine the weekly disability payment to be
made and order payment thereof during the continuance of disability.
In the event the injured employee or the dependent of a deceased
employee prevails in any petition by the employer for a writ of
review from an award of the appeals board and the reviewing court
finds that there is no reasonable basis for the petition, it shall
remand the cause to the appeals board for the purpose of making a
supplemental award awarding to the injured employee or his attorney,
or the dependent of a deceased employee or his attorney a reasonable
attorney's fee for services rendered in connection with the petition
for writ of review. Any such fee shall be in addition to the amount
of compensation otherwise recoverable and shall be paid as part of
the award by the party liable to pay such award.
