AMNER ALVAREZ vs. SCM ENTERPRISES, TIMBERS STRATA 23-LP, FOWLER PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, STRATA EQUITY GROUP, TRAVELERS PROPERTY CASUALTY COMPANY OF AMERICA, EMPLOYERS COMPENSATION INSURANCE COMPANY, INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE WEST, MARKEL INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the arbitrator's decision because SCM Enterprises claimed it did not receive timely notice of the hearing and decision. The Board found the petition for reconsideration to be timely filed as the statutory period does not run until actual receipt of the decision when service is defective. The case is returned to the arbitrator for further proceedings and a new decision. This order is not a final decision on the merits.
