Travelers Insurance v. Precision Cabinets

Employment outsourcing company, which had borrowing/lending employer relationship with cabinet company, chose workers' compensation coverage and thus purchased it for all of its employees including claimant. Its failure to secure endorsement adding cabinet company to policy was ineffective to withdraw claimant from protection of Workers' Compensation Act. Commission properly declined to accept evidence of outsourcing company's bankruptcy. Stipulation and consent order entered by Department of Financial and Professional Regulation three years prior to arbitration hearing is not relevant to workers' compensation proceeding and thus appellate court refused to take judicial notice of it. (HOFFMAN, HUDSON, HOLDRIDGE, and STEWART, concurring.)
