This case concerns a professional hockey player's workers' compensation claim filed after September 15, 2013. The key issue was whether the amended Labor Code section 3600.5, effective on that date, barred the claim. The Appeals Board reversed the initial finding, holding that the statute's plain language dictates its application to claims filed on or after September 15, 2013. As the applicant's claim was filed after this date, the amendments apply. Due to a stipulation that the amended law bars the claim, the applicant was ordered to take nothing.
