Summary

In this third en banc decision addressing the COVID-19 state of emergency, the Appeals Board, by unanimous vote, addressed the impact of Governor Newsom's Executive Order N-33-20 (the statewide stay-at-home order) on the conduct of WCAB proceedings. To facilitate adjudication while complying with public health measures, the Board suspended the 20-day requirement to file documentary trial exhibits found in WCAB Rules 10620 and 10670(b)(3). The Board relied on the express authority within Rule 10620 permitting deviation when otherwise ordered, and found good cause under Rule 10670(b)(3) to permit late-filed documents into evidence. The suspension was ordered to remain in effect until further notice, while WCJs retain authority to decline documents as otherwise permitted by law.
