Domino's Pizza v. WCAB (Kerr)
We issued a writ of review to consider whether the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (Board) erred by denying a petition to transfer venue to Santa Barbara County as requested by the employer's insurer, State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF). Court concluded that Labor Code section 5501.5, subdivision (c) mandates that venue be changed from San Luis Obispo County to Santa Barbara County.
The order denying removal is annulled. Board is directed to set aside and vacate its previous order and enter a new order granting the petition for removal to Santa Barbara County.
