CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for removal, rescinded a discovery order allowing the applicant to submit non-medical documents to a PQME, and returned the matter for further proceedings. The Board found the original order to be an interlocutory discovery decision, not a final one, thus dismissing the petition for reconsideration. The Board determined that a proper evidentiary record was lacking to support the WCJ's order, requiring a hearing to allow both parties to present evidence.
