CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's petition for reconsideration because it was filed against an interlocutory procedural order, not a final decision, as required by Labor Code § 5900(a). The order in question allowed an applicant's QME report and reopened the record for a supplemental report, neither of which determined substantive liability. Even if treated as a petition for removal, it was denied on the merits for failing to show significant prejudice or irreparable harm.
