Applicant Jennifer Lee Reino settled workers' compensation claims against both Armstrong World Industries and Vons via a Stipulated Award approved October 23, 1990, in which the two defendants agreed to share future medical care costs equally (50% each). Later, applicant and Vons entered a Compromise and Release settling her Petition to Reopen and her right to future medical care against Vons. Armstrong sought 50% reimbursement of medical treatment costs from Vons, and a WCJ found Armstrong entitled to that reimbursement in a November 13, 2020 Findings and Order. Vons sought reconsideration arguing statute of limitations, breach, supersession by the 2009 C&R, and laches. The Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the Findings and Order, and remanded because it was unclear whether Vons' defenses were formally framed as issues at trial and the record was incomplete under Labor Code section 5313 and Hamilton.
