Case No. ADJ4574280 (STK 0198490)RegularJul 27, 2016
DENNIS WALLACE vs. COUNTY OF STANISLAUS, SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) rescinded a prior decision that dismissed the applicant's Labor Code section 132a petition based on collateral estoppel. The WCAB found that the prior civil judgment in the applicant's FEHA action, which formed the basis for the dismissal, had been overturned by the Court of Appeal. Therefore, the WCAB returned the matter to the WCJ for further proceedings consistent with the Court of Appeal's decision.
