Summary

Applicant Gisela Bustos sought reconsideration of an arbitrator's (WCA) Findings and Order finding she did not sustain injury AOE/COE to her back, left arm, left leg, and left knee during a cumulative trauma period, and that her claim was barred by the post-termination defense under Labor Code section 3600(a)(10). The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to study the issues but found that the arbitrator failed to submit a complete record, including the transcript of proceedings, submitted evidence, and identification of stipulations, exhibits, and issues. Citing Hamilton and due process principles, the Board held it could not conduct meaningful review on an incomplete record. The Board rescinded the F&O and returned the matter to the trial level for further proceedings, allowing any aggrieved party to seek reconsideration once a new decision issues.
