Opinion
No. 104301.
October 25, 1996
Summary Dispositions October 25, 1996:
In lieu of granting leave to appeal, the order of the WCAC is vacated, and the matter is remanded so the WCAC may fully set forth the legal basis for its decision that a petition for benefits must be signed. MCR 7.302(F)(1). The decisions of the magistrate and the WCAC do not address whether a signature on a petition is a prerequisite to maintaining a claim for worker's disability benefits. The petition itself suggests a signature is voluntary. If it desires, the WCAC may remand to the magistrate for further proceedings or for reinstatement of the plaintiff's petition. Jurisdiction is not retained.
Court of Appeals No. 185016.
