California Court of Appeal

In an adjudication of a workers' compensation claim, judgment in favor of respondent is affirmed where: 1) Lab. Code section section 4663(e) was in effect as of the effective date of section 4663; and 2) since the the Legislature did not repeal or alter section 3212 et seq. when it enacted section 4663, the latter's subsequent amendment merely made express what the Legislature's prior actions implied, that section 3212 et seq. remained good law notwithstanding enactment of section 4663.
