CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's petition for reconsideration because it was filed against a procedural order denying a change of venue, not a final order resolving substantive rights. The Board clarified that reconsideration is only permissible for final decisions, awards, or orders that determine the ultimate rights and liabilities of the parties involved. As the order in question was interlocutory, it did not qualify for reconsideration.
