Summary

Defendant CCSI sought reconsideration of an arbitrator's June 10, 2021 Findings and Award ordering it to contribute $55,563.54 to Entertainment Partners on a meritorious contribution petition. The petition was timely filed June 30, 2021, but the Appeals Board did not receive notice until August 3, 2022, so the Board held its 60-day time to act under Labor Code section 5909 was equitably tolled under Shipley. On the merits, the Board found the arbitration record incomplete because the file lacked a summary of evidence, minutes of proceedings, and proper identification of exhibits, as required by WCAB Rules 10914 and 10995. Because it could not conduct meaningful review of an arbitrator's decision absent an adequate and complete record, the Board rescinded the F&A and returned the matter to the arbitrator.
