JOSEPH WASHINGTON vs. MICHELS CORPORATION, XL SPECIALTY INSURANCE COMPANY

Defendant sought reconsideration of a Stipulation and Award, alleging inaccuracies in the temporary disability rate and period. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration as premature, adopting the Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) recommendation. The WCAB found no evidence of good cause was presented by the defendant to set aside the Stipulation. The matter is remanded to the trial level for a hearing to allow parties to present evidence on whether good cause exists to set aside the Stipulation.
