The award of attorney fees is reviewable for abuse of discretion. E.g., Pettit v. Austin Logging Co., 9 Or. App. 347, 497 P.2d 207 (1972). Without evidence or a stipulation there is no way we can measure the discretion exercised.
Judicial review of workmen's compensation claims is de novo on the record to the same extent as are proceedings in a review of an equity decree. Pettit v. Austin Logging Co., 9 Or. App. 347, 497 P.2d 207 (1972); Hannan v. Good Samaritan Hosp., 4 Or. App. 178, 471 P.2d 831, 476 P.2d 931 (1970), Sup Ct review denied (1971). SAIF contends that the award of any fee by the circuit court is improper.
He is, however, entitled, upon proper application, to fees in this court. ORS 656.301 (2); Logan v. Boise Cascade Corp., 5 Or. App. 636, 485 P.2d 441, Sup Ct review denied (1971); Pettit v. Austin Logging Co., 9 Or. App. 347, 497 P.2d 207 (1972). The judgment is affirmed.
