IRMA DEFIORE vs. ORANGE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, PSI, YORK RISK SERVICES GROUP

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration, amending the prior findings. While the Board affirmed that the claim is not barred by res judicata, it deferred the issue of the statute of limitations. The Board found the prior decision on the statute of limitations was not supported by substantial evidence. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings on the statute of limitations issue.
