CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the Arbitrator's decision, and returned the case for further proceedings. This action was taken because the Arbitrator failed to issue a decision within the statutory 30-day period after submission, as required by Labor Code section 5722, and the arbitration record lacked sufficient documentation. The Board found that the defendant did not waive this procedural defect by waiting to raise it until after the decision was issued.
