CompFox AI Summary
The defendant filed a Petition for Removal arguing they did not receive notice of a Mandatory Settlement Conference (MSC) and therefore could not participate. The Appeals Board found a conflict between the defendant's claim of no notice and the applicant's proof of service. Consequently, the Board granted removal, rescinded the prior order closing discovery, and redesignated the next hearing as another MSC to resolve the notice dispute. The WCJ will now determine if the defendant received notice and decide the subsequent actions.
