Case No. ADJ9108437RegularOct 21, 2025
Sadiq Noori vs. Union Bank, Gallagher Bassett
Sadiq Noori, the applicant, sought reconsideration of an Order Approving Compromise and Release (OACR) issued on September 19, 2016, where his claim was settled for $10,000. He alleged the OACR was procured by fraud and new evidence was discovered. The Appeals Board found that the applicant had not properly served the petition upon all adverse parties as per Labor Code section 5905 and that no evidence had been admitted into the record to determine the merits of his fraud allegations. Consequently, the Board dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration, recommending that it be treated as a petition to set aside the OACR upon return to the trial level.
