CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns defendant's petition for reconsideration or removal of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision. The Board denied the petition, finding the decision contained both a threshold issue (injury AOE/COE) making it final for reconsideration, and an interlocutory issue (treatment outside the medical provider network). Because the petition primarily challenged the interlocutory issue, it was evaluated under the more stringent removal standard. The Board found no evidence of significant prejudice or irreparable harm justifying removal.
