What the panel ordered
DENIEDp. 8
Defendant's Petition for Reconsideration of the Appeals Board's May 10, 2019 en banc Opinion and Decision After Reconsideration, which had rescinded the WCJ's Findings and Award and substituted findings that applicant sustained a catastrophic injury under Lab. Code § 4660.1(c)(2)(B).
This docket was decided more than once. Shown here is the latest released decision; we also hold May 10, 2019.
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.
Defendant does not dispute the finding of catastrophic injury and therefore may not be an aggrieved party, but the Board addressed the merits and denied reconsideration.
From the decision · page 2We have considered the allegations of defendant’s Petition for Reconsideration and applicant’s answer. Based on our review of the record, for the reasons stated in the Opinion, which we adopt and incorporate herein, and discussed below, we will deny reconsideration.
