CompFox AI Summary
This case involves an applicant claiming a psychiatric injury. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the employer's petition for reconsideration, upholding the finding that actual employment events predominantly caused the applicant's psychiatric injury. The employer failed to prove that any alleged personnel actions were lawful, nondiscriminatory, and in good faith, thus failing to establish a defense against compensability. Therefore, the court found no need for a further analysis of whether such actions substantially caused the injury.
