CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for removal because it was based on a Notice of Intention to Dismiss, not an actual dismissal, and thus did not meet the criteria for significant prejudice or irreparable harm. The Board found that the WCJ had not yet acted on the notice or the applicant's objection. Consequently, the case was returned to the trial level for the WCJ to consider the dismissal.
