CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board denied the defendant's Petition for Removal, which sought to reinstate an order dismissing a lien claimant for failure to appear. The Board found that removal is an extraordinary remedy that requires a showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, which the defendant failed to demonstrate. The defendant's contention that the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration was without merit was not sufficient to warrant removal. The WCJ may still consider sanctions against the defendant at a future hearing.
