Hernandez, Jaime vs. CORPORATION OF THE PRESIDING BISHOP OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS, SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's Petition for Removal in this case. Removal is an extraordinary remedy granted only when substantial prejudice or irreparable harm would occur without it, and reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy. The Board found that the applicant failed to demonstrate these stringent requirements, thus denying the petition. The WCJ's report, which was incorporated by the Board, detailed the reasons for this denial.
