Melvin Isaac vs. Paramount Pictures

In this case, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board removed the case to itself and issued an order setting aside the WCJ's March 28, 2011 Order Approving Compromise and Release and entered a new Order approving the parties' Compromise and Release with addenda. The parties were allowed 20 days to submit written objection showing good cause why the compromise and release should not be approved with the addenda included on the form presented to the WCJ. No objections were received, so the Appeals Board approved the Compromise and Release with addenda and returned the cases to the trial level for further proceedings.
