CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration and denied their Petition for Removal. The Board found that the Administrative Law Judge's order vacating submission and ordering further record development was an interlocutory procedural order, not a final one subject to reconsideration. They also rejected the defendant's argument that the applicant's withdrawal of a psychiatric claim barred proof of physical injury aggravation from stress. Finally, the Board concluded no significant prejudice or irreparable harm would result from denying removal.
