CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration of an order changing venue because the order was not a final determination and the petition was unverified. However, the Board granted removal on its own motion and reversed the venue change, finding the employer's objection to the applicant's chosen venue in Oakland was untimely under Rule 10410. The employer had over two years to object to the Oakland venue after receiving notice of the case number, significantly exceeding the 30-day limit.
