DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA PUBLIC SCHOOLS v. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA and COLICCHIO PROCTOR, INTERVENOR.
District of Columbia Court of Appeals
Decided July 31, 2014No. 13-AA-630PublishedCited by 7 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
KING, Senior Judge:
District of Columbia Public Schools (“DCPS”) seeks review of an order of the Compensation Review Board (“the Board”) which upheld a common law treating physician preference in public-sector workers’ compensation cases. DCPS contends that the Board erred as a matter of law in holding that the repeal of a statutory treating physician preference revived the common law rule, where the legislature’s intent was to abolish the preference in public sector cases. We agree, and accordingly we reverse the Board’s order and remand the case.
