CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the WCJ's prior award, and returned the case for further proceedings. The Board found that the WCJ should have considered the enforceability of a forum selection clause in the employment contract, which dictates jurisdiction in Florida. This decision was based on a new en banc ruling establishing precedent for declining jurisdiction when such clauses exist and have a limited connection to California. The case will be re-heard to fully address the forum selection clause and its impact on jurisdiction and the applicant's claims.
