CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a petition for reconsideration of a Compromise and Release agreement approved by a workers' compensation judge. The applicant argued the agreement was defective and sought to set it aside based on fraud and alleged amendments to the original award. However, the Appeals Board dismissed the petition as untimely, as it was filed well beyond the 25-day statutory limit from the date of the order. The Board noted that the subsequent hearing resulted in the case being taken off calendar, which is not a final order subject to reconsideration.
