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.

MOHAMMAD NOORY vs. PEPPER TREE, INC., dba; JIFFY LUBE; THE HARTFORD; administered by ATHENS ADMINISTRATORS

This case involves a defendant's petition for reconsideration of a permanent total disability award for an applicant who sustained injuries to multiple body parts. The defendant argued denial of due process due to insufficient medical evaluations and deposition procedures, and that the evidence did not support permanent total disability. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the petition, affirming the original award. The Board found the WCJ acted within his authority regarding record development and that valid alternative bases, including substantial medical and vocational expert opinions, supported the permanent total disability finding.
