CompFox AI Summary

This case involves a defendant's petition for removal to the Appeals Board, seeking to rescind an order allowing a lien claimant to amend its lien amount and introduce undisclosed evidence. The defendant argued this amendment caused prejudice and irreparable harm. The Appeals Board denied the petition, finding that allowing the entire lien to be litigated in one proceeding promotes judicial economy. The Board reasoned that the defendant has an adequate remedy through reconsideration if aggrieved by a future final decision.
