CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration of a prior award issued by a workers' compensation judge. This action was taken to allow the Board further time to study the factual and legal issues presented in the case. The parties are directed to file all future correspondence related to the petition for reconsideration directly with the WCAB Commissioners' office and not through the district office or e-filing. Any trial-level documents not related to the reconsideration petition should continue to be filed normally, but the WCAB must be notified if a settlement is proposed, as a judge cannot act on a settlement during reconsideration.
