Chavez v. WCAB
Emiliano Avila Chavez petitions for writ of review contending the decision of the Workers Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) barring benefits under the post termination/layoff defense (Lab. Code 3600, subd. (a)(10)) was not based on substantial evidence. Chavez also contends in order for the defense to preclude workers compensation benefits, there must be an affirmative showing of prejudice under section 5403. Court disagree and deny the petition.
