CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a Petition for Reconsideration that was dismissed by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board. The dismissal was based on two primary grounds: the petition was filed untimely, exceeding the 25-day limit after the WCJ's November 12, 2015 decision, and the decision being reconsidered was not a "final" order. The Board clarified that interlocutory procedural or evidentiary rulings do not qualify as final decisions for reconsideration purposes. If treated as a Petition for Removal, it would also be denied for failure to show substantial prejudice or irreparable harm.
