CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Nordstrom's Petition for Reconsideration, finding the WCJ's order to take the case off calendar was not a final order. However, the WCAB granted Nordstrom's Petition for Removal, rescinded the WCJ's order, and returned the matter for further proceedings. This action was taken because the WCJ failed to adequately address the parties' Compromise and Release agreement, specifically concerning defendant's credit for $3,500 in missed appointment fees. The WCAB indicated the parties could bifurcate the settlement or the issue of the fees would require a hearing.
