The Appeals Board granted removal and rescinded the WCJ's Minute Order because the order cited a non-existent Labor Code section and lacked the necessary evidentiary support. The Board requires decisions to be based on admitted evidence and clearly reference the supporting record, which was not met here. Consequently, the case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings, with a recommendation for a new WCJ to clarify the case's direction.
