The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to address the applicant's contention that the Washington Redskins should not have been dismissed from the case. Although the applicant initially sought and obtained a dismissal of the Redskins with prejudice, they were later rejoined to the case by the judge. The WCAB found that the Redskins waived their objection to this rejoinder by failing to raise it promptly. Consequently, the WCAB rescinded the previous findings and returned the case for further proceedings, leaving the substantive issues regarding liability and arbitration unresolved.
