RAYMUNDO ALVAREZ vs. BRIAN MORALES, SHELBY FRAMING, CALIFORNIA CONTRACTORS NETWORK, STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a stipulation resolving SCIF's dispute with CCN over liability for applicant's claims. SCIF sought to set aside the stipulation, arguing it was based on a mistaken belief about CCN's employer relationship. The Board rescinded the stipulation, returning the case for a hearing on whether SCIF has good cause to be relieved of its stipulation. The WCJ will determine if grounds like mutual mistake or fraud exist, otherwise, the stipulation will be reinstated.
