CompFox AI Summary

Zurich sought removal and reconsideration of the denial of its petition to suspend proceedings, arguing applicant's failure to attend a QME examination mandated suspension under Labor Code section 4053. The Board denied removal, finding Zurich failed to demonstrate irreparable harm or substantial prejudice. The Board also dismissed Zurich's petition for reconsideration, as the order denying suspension was an interlocutory procedural order, not a final determination of substantive rights or liability.
