CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration of an approved Compromise and Release because the petition was not properly served on the defendant. The Board noted that the applicant claimed fraud and disagreement with the settlement terms, and therefore recommended the petition be treated as a petition to set aside. This will allow for a hearing where evidence can be presented to determine if good cause exists to rescind the original order.
