CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded a prior determination that David Hakim was an illegally uninsured employer. Hakim appealed, arguing the applicant was an independent contractor, not an employee, thus he was not required to carry workers' compensation insurance. The Board found that Hakim's contention regarding the employment status sufficiently rebutted the prima facie case required for an illegally uninsured employer finding. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings to determine employment status and other related issues.
