CompFox AI Summary

This case involves Golden Eagle Insurance Corporation seeking reconsideration of an arbitrator's decision that CIGA's reimbursement claim was not barred by prior rulings, statutes of limitations, or laches. Golden Eagle argued that a previous en banc decision established CIGA's sole liability, thus precluding relitigation. The Appeals Board denied reconsideration, affirming the arbitrator's finding that the prior decision only established shared liability and reserved apportionment for further proceedings. The Board clarified that the arbitrator's ruling determined threshold issues, making it a final order subject to review, and that CIGA's right to reimbursement had not been definitively determined.
