CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration of an order vacating a trial date. This denial was based on the principle that a final adjudication of the applicant's Labor Code section 132a claim had already occurred and all subsequent appeals were exhausted. Furthermore, the Board found it lacked jurisdiction to reopen a section 132a claim due to statutory time limitations, as the petition to reopen was filed more than five years after the date of injury.
