Does the Court have jurisdiction to determine which tribunal has exclusive jurisdiction?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Hollingsworth v. Superior Court, 249 Cal.Rptr.3d 851, 37 Cal.App.5th 927 (Cal. App. 2019):

determine exclusive jurisdiction. ( Scott v. Industrial Acc. Commission (1956) 46 Cal.2d 76, 81, 293 P.2d 18 ( Scott ).) Here, the superior court exercised jurisdiction first, so the court had jurisdiction to decide which tribunal has exclusive jurisdiction. The court erred by staying the civil case to allow the WCAB to decide that issue, and the WCAB erred by proceeding without deference to the superior court. We therefore grant plaintiffs' petition.
