CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the WCJ's decision, and found applicant's claim barred by the going and coming rule. The Board determined that the applicant's commute to a mandatory monthly sergeants' meeting, even on his day off and in uniform, did not constitute a special mission. The court reasoned that the meeting's location, timing, and nature were not extraordinary relative to routine duties, and thus no exception to the rule applied. Consequently, the applicant was ordered to take nothing by way of his claim.
