Summary

Defendant Trademark Construction Co. timely filed a Petition for Reconsideration on December 14, 2023, challenging a November 15, 2023 Findings and Award issued by a workers' compensation arbitrator (WCA) under an ADR program authorized by Labor Code section 3201.5. The Appeals Board did not receive the complete case file and failed to act within the 60-day period under former section 5909, with the case not transmitted to the Board until March 10, 2026. Applying the equitable tolling doctrine from Shipley v. WCAB, the Board found the 60-day period tolled during the period the file was not received, through no fault of the parties. Because defendant had previously filed a request to withdraw the Petition on October 13, 2025, the Board dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration.
