CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) reconsidered an order sanctioning Seabright Insurance Company for failing to respond to a Notice of Intention (NIT) to impose sanctions. Seabright contended it had indeed responded to the NIT and filed required documents, which the WCAB found had been attempted. The WCAB rescinded the sanction order, deeming the prior finding of non-response inaccurate. The matter was returned to the trial level for a new determination on whether Seabright acted with reasonable justification before imposing any sanctions.
