CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed a petition for reconsideration and denied a petition for removal. The WCAB found that the prior order was not a "final" order as it only addressed an intermediate procedural or evidentiary issue, not substantive rights or liabilities. Furthermore, the petitioner failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm to warrant the extraordinary remedy of removal. Therefore, the WCAB concluded reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if a final adverse decision is ultimately issued.
