CompFox AI Summary

Here's a summary of the case in four sentences for a lawyer:

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration regarding a prior order compelling payment to a Qualified Medical Examiner (QME). The defendant sought to avoid paying the QME an additional deposition fee after a prior deposition was aborted due to technical issues, despite having paid for preparation and attempted appearance. The Board found that the QME was entitled to the statutory minimum two-hour payment for the rescheduled deposition, including preparation time, as the initial failure to depose was not the QME's fault. The Board also clarified that the defendant's petition was treated as one for reconsideration, not removal, and was denied on its merits.
