Summary
In response to the COVID-19 state of emergency declared by Governor Newsom on March 4, 2020, and the subsequent shelter-in-place orders affecting counties housing WCAB district offices, the Appeals Board issued this unanimous en banc decision pursuant to its authority under WCAB Rule 10370. The Board temporarily suspended several Rules of Practice and Procedure contained in Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, applicable to all district offices statewide. The suspensions cover dismissals for failure to appear, time limits for WCJs and arbitrators to issue reports on reconsideration/removal petitions, witness signature requirements on Compromise and Release agreements, and mail service requirements. The Board also noted that, because DWC district offices were closed for filing from March 17 through April 3, 2020, all filing deadlines were extended to the next day the offices reopened for filing.
