CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's Petition for Removal. Removal is an extraordinary remedy granted only when substantial prejudice or irreparable harm will result, and reconsideration would be inadequate. The Board found, adopting the WCJ's reasoning, that the defendant failed to demonstrate such prejudice. The WCJ clarified that continuing the matter to another priority conference, which is a type of status conference, did not cause harm as the defendant's request for a "normal status conference" was essentially granted.
