California Racing Board v. WCAB
The California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) and the State Compensation Insurance Fund (the Fund) (collectively petitioners) have petitioned for a writ of review from an order of the Workers Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) upholding a decision by which real party in interest Martin Snezek was awarded work related disability benefits for a heart attack. Petitioners contend that the WCAB erred in applying the heart trouble presumption set forth in Labor Code section 3212 to Snezek, who worked as a special investigator for the CHRB. Having granted a writ of review, Court now vacate the WCABs decision.
