CompFox AI Summary
The California Insurance Guarantee Association (CIGA) sought reconsideration of an order approving a compromise and release agreement between the applicant and State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF). CIGA argued its due process rights were violated as it wasn't properly notified of the 2006 order. The Appeals Board found the 2006 order did not affect CIGA's right to seek reimbursement from SCIF, as CIGA's claim arises from insurance code provisions, not the prior agreement. The Board affirmed the 2006 order and returned the case to the trial level to determine CIGA's reimbursement claim against SCIF.
