CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration, rescinded the prior finding of industrial injury to the applicant's left knee and low back, and returned the matter for further proceedings. The Board rejected the defendant's attempt to introduce medical websites on reconsideration as a violation of due process, and found insufficient evidence to support claims of fraud. However, due to a recent invalidation of Administrative Director Rule 30(d)(3), the defendant has a due process right to further medical evaluation, necessitating the case's return to the trial level.
