CompFox AI Summary
The defendant sought removal of a WCJ's order compelling the claims adjuster's appearance to determine the adequacy of a Compromise and Release (C&R). However, the parties subsequently withdrew the original C&R due to a change in the applicant's condition. They then submitted and obtained approval for a new C&R that settled the case for a larger sum. Since the issue requiring the adjuster's presence was resolved by the withdrawal of the original C&R and approval of a new settlement, the defendant's Petition for Removal is dismissed as moot.
