CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied Liberty Mutual Insurance Company's petition for removal, upholding an earlier order that rejoined Liberty and its insured, Perkinelmer Optoelectronics, as parties. Although Liberty was previously dismissed, the WCAB found good cause to rescind that dismissal under Labor Code section 5803. This was because the applicant amended their claim to allege cumulative trauma extending to June 1, 2004, making Perkinelmer a potentially liable employer. The WCAB determined that Liberty's initial dismissal petition was based on facts no longer operative after the amendment, and a final determination of liability had not yet been made.
