MITCHELL v. SCOTT WETZEL SERVICES, INC.

Docket No. G008689.

227 Cal.App.3d 1474 (1991)

278 Cal. Rptr. 474

MICHAEL MITCHELL et al., Plaintiffs and Appellants, v. SCOTT WETZEL SERVICES, INC., et al., Defendants and Respondents.

Court of Appeals of California, Fourth District, Division Three.

February 26, 1991.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

COUNSEL

Lawrence E. Hanna for Plaintiffs and Appellants.

Murchison & Cumming and Edmund G. Farrell III for Defendants and Respondents.

OPINION

SILLS, P.J.

This case involves serious allegations of intentional misconduct by the workers' compensation claims administrator of a self-insured employer. Because these allegations relate to the enforcement of workers' compensation benefits, we conclude exclusive jurisdiction lies with the workers' compensation system. We do so, however, reluctantly.
