Petition for Reconsideration of Joint Order of Dismissal granted; matter returned to trial level for further proceedings
This docket was decided more than once. Shown here is the latest released decision; we also hold July 22, 2024.
What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The WCAB found the dismissal order lacked a sufficient record and due process, granting reconsideration and returning the matter for further proceedings.
From the decision · page 9Since the WCJ did not hold a hearing or admit any evidence into the record on the issue of dismissal of applicant's cases, we do not have a sufficient record to consider the issue in the first instance. Moreover, as a matter of due process, applicant is entitled to a hearing.
