Deborah Jean Gross vs. The Boeing Company, ACE Indemnity Insurance Company of North America

The applicant sought reconsideration of a $$60,000$ Compromise and Release agreement, claiming it was entered into under duress. The Appeals Board dismissed the petition for reconsideration. The Board found it premature to rule on the duress claim without admitted evidence, such as sworn testimony. Therefore, the matter was returned to the trial level for the applicant to present evidence and for the WCJ to consider it as a petition to set aside the agreement.
