CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a workers' compensation claim filed by David Schultze after his employment termination. The primary legal issue is whether Schultze's claim is barred by the Labor Code section 3600(a)(10) post-termination defense, which requires evidence of injury to exist in medical records prior to termination. The Appeals Board affirmed the administrative law judge's finding that an exception applied, admitting medical records from Frazier Mountain Community Health Center despite their late disclosure. However, a dissenting opinion argued these records were inadmissible due to procedural rules and did not sufficiently prove the injury date or the applicability of the exception.
