JUDITH VOLKERTS vs. JON B. ARTZ, SEABRIGHT INSURANCE COMPANY, CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION for CALIFORNIA COMPENSATION
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) affirmed the administrative law judge's (WCJ) order rescinding a prior decision due to improper service by the WCAB. The original decision denied the applicant's request to set aside a compromise and release agreement. Because the WCAB failed to properly serve the applicant, the WCJ retained jurisdiction and had the authority to rescind the decision. The case is remanded for further proceedings, including a new decision that must be properly served.
