WCAB gives Ogilvie the green light

Apparently the defense attorney on Bowden v Sunray Termite wrote ex parte to the WCAB requesting the case be declared a significant panel decision. 1

Commissioner Miller’s letter (download below) notes Bowden was a “purely fact driven case” and “is not to be a statement of legal importance to the community.”  Commissioner Miller further points out Significant Panel decisions are citable panel decisions but not binding legal precedent. 2

What does this mean to you?

Ogilvie has not been stayed, so sharpen your #2 pencils and work on your math skills.

2. Even if the defense attorney’s request had been granted Ogilvie, as an en banc decision, would still take precedence over Bowden. [↩]

This sign is ALSO not a stay on Ogilvie

I’m still getting e-mails suggesting that Bowden v. Sunray Termite is a WCAB Panel decision staying Ogilvie. 1  Thanks to some loyal readers, I now have a copy of this Panel decision:
