New York Court of Appeals

OPINION OF THE COURT

Smith, J.

At issue in this appeal is whether the Workers’ Compensation Board (the Board) erred in reversing the decision of a Workers’ Compensation Law Judge (WCLJ) when the party seeking review of the decision failed to notify the parties in interest of the pendency of the application for review. We hold that, under these circumstances, the Board violated its own rules requiring notice to all parties in interest (12 NYCRR 300.13 [a]) and we reverse the order of the Appellate Division affirming the Board’s decision.
