CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed a petition for reconsideration filed by the County of San Bernardino Fire Department (CDF) and its insurer. The Board found that the order joining CDF and State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF) as defendants was not a "final" order, and thus not subject to reconsideration. Furthermore, the Board denied the petition for removal, as CDF and SCIF failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. They also did not show that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy if an adverse decision were ultimately issued.
