CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration, upholding the original award to the applicant for industrial injuries to multiple body parts. The defendant's primary argument for reconsideration was the alleged improper admission of a psychological report, claiming it was not listed on the pre-trial conference statement. However, the Board found this contention to be factually incorrect, as the report was indeed listed and acknowledged by both parties. Consequently, the Board initiated removal on its own motion to issue sanctions against the defendant's law firm for filing a verified petition containing demonstrably false statements.
