JAMES GROVER vs. MVP HYDRATEC, INC., CLARENDON NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY, REMEDYTEMP, INC., CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION, RELIANCE NATIONAL INDEMNITY CO.

This case concerns whether Clarendon Insurance, covering the special employer, constitutes "other insurance" under Insurance Code section 1063.1(c)(9), relieving CIGA of liability for an injured worker whose general employer's insurer is insolvent. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the prior award due to incomplete findings and an unclear record regarding the "other insurance" issue, and returned the case to the trial level. The Workers' Compensation Administrative Law Judge must clarify the evidence and make specific findings on general and special employment and whether Clarendon's policy qualifies as "other insurance" before issuing a new decision and award.
