CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration because the order setting trial was not a final order. The WCAB granted the defendant's Petition for Removal, rescinded the trial setting order, and removed the case from the calendar. This decision was based on the defendant's argument that significant prejudice and potential irreparable harm would result from proceeding without completing the deposition of the applicant's wife, who provides home health care. The WCAB found that allowing further discovery and updated medical evaluations would serve judicial economy.
