What the panel ordered
The WCAB affirms its August 15, 2022 Opinion and Decision After Reconsideration, denying Waldschmidt's petition for reconsideration regarding the official address of record and due process claims.
This docket was decided more than once. Shown here is the latest released decision; we also hold March 21, 2022.
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 court found no error in failing to amend the official address record because the dismissal did not constitute a change of address notice, and the party had a duty to update the address, so no due process violation occurred.
The facts that decided it
What the panel treated as outcome-determinative, and which side it favoured.
Waldschmidt did not notify the WCAB of any change to his official address of record.
Favours Defendant prevailed
Because parties have a duty to update their address, failure to do so means no error in service or due process violation.
