CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the trial judge's decision, and returned the case for further development. The Board found the trial judge's decision lacked adequate discussion regarding the basis for denying the applicant's psychiatric injury claim. Specifically, the judge failed to properly analyze the defenses of "good faith personnel action" and "post-termination" as required by law, and the record did not sufficiently support the assertion of pre-existing conditions. The case will proceed for further hearings to address these deficiencies and reach a properly reasoned decision.
