Case No. ADJ629563RegularJun 10, 2014
CLAUDIA ANDRADE vs. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON, SEDGWICK CMS
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board rescinded the trial judge's findings and returned the case for further proceedings due to a denial of due process. The trial judge decided issues not presented by the parties, preventing them from offering evidence or arguing their case. The Board found the trial judge's framing of the sole issue as "good cause to violate the MPN agreement" was insufficient and failed to resolve the lien claim's ultimate entitlement to recovery. The case will be returned to the trial level to properly frame all contested issues and allow parties to present evidence.
