CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted the defendant's petition for removal. This action rescinded the Administrative Law Judge's (ALJ) order to issue a new decision solely on the period of continuous trauma. The WCAB found the ALJ's prior finding establishing the injury period from 1973 to 1992 was final, as the applicant failed to seek reconsideration within the statutory timeframe. Therefore, further proceedings on this issue are unnecessary, and the case is returned to the trial level for other required proceedings.
