Summary

Defendant Hesperia Unified School District sought reconsideration of a May 30, 2023 Award approving a stipulated settlement, arguing the Award was based on incorrect commutation calculations that both parties had relied upon. The WCJ recommended denying the Petition or treating it as a petition to set aside the Award. The WCAB panel held that the Petition for Reconsideration was premature because the proper procedural vehicle for correcting a settlement based on mutual mistake is a petition to set aside the Award, which requires a record to be developed at the trial level. The Board dismissed the Petition and returned the matter to the WCJ with instructions to treat it as a petition to set aside, including setting a hearing to allow the parties to create an evidentiary record.
