CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board denied the defendants' Petition for Removal because they failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, and reconsideration remains an adequate remedy. The defendants were found to be lacking in diligence, as evidenced by their delayed response to the applicant's primary treating physician's report finding a new injury and their failure to object to procedural notices. Their arguments regarding mischeduled conferences and discovery closure were not supported by the record or applicable law, especially considering their own lack of timely action. Therefore, removal was deemed inappropriate, and the matter will proceed through the normal Workers' Compensation appeals process.
