This case involves CIGA's petition for reimbursement from ACE American Insurance Company for workers' compensation benefits paid due to the insolvency of Reliance Insurance Company. The WCAB rescinded the prior denial, finding CIGA has standing and its claim is not barred by laches. However, CIGA must still prove ACE's joint and several liability for medical treatment and that ACE's policy constitutes "other insurance." The matter is returned to the trial level for a complete record and further determination on these issues.
