  1. Viele v. DCMA

    167 Mich. App. 571 (Mich. Ct. App. 1988)   Cited 11 times
    In Viele, 167 Mich.App. at 574, 423 N.W.2d 270, the plaintiff filed separate petitions for workers' compensation benefits against his direct employer and his alleged statutory employers.

    A referee or the WCAB may correct a mistake in its original order, but may not grant a rehearing to review facts establishing liability. See McLean v Eaton Mfg Co, 286 Mich. 285, 294; 282 N.W. 150 (1938); Hunt v Genesee Foundry Pattern Engineering Co, 353 Mich. 205, 208; 91 N.W.2d 286 (1958); Dean v Great Lakes Casting Co, 78 Mich. App. 664; 261 N.W.2d 34 (1977). Here, the original decision was issued when MCL 418.851; MSA 17.237(851) allowed fifteen days for a party to file a claim of review from a decision of the hearing referee, unless the WCAB granted further time for "sufficient cause shown."
