CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board rescinded an order that declared no triable issue of fact and took a case off calendar. This order was improperly issued at a mandatory settlement conference, as disputed issues cannot be decided at such conferences without consent. The Board found the prior order was interlocutory and not subject to reconsideration, and therefore returned the case to the trial level for further proceedings. This decision allows the defendant to properly pursue their petition for contribution.
