CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board rescinded a prior award and returned the case for further proceedings. This action was taken because an arbitrator had determined that Commerce & Industry Insurance did not insure A & B Recruiting, contradicting the initial finding of joint and several employer liability and insurance coverage by that company. The Board noted that insurance coverage disputes are subject to mandatory arbitration and the arbitrator's finding supersedes the WCJ's. The case will be returned to the trial level for a new decision, with parties allowed to raise additional issues, including whether A & B Recruiting was uninsured.
