CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's petition for reconsideration because the WCJ's order setting the matter for trial was an interlocutory procedural order, not a final decision. The Board also denied the defendant's petition for removal, finding no error in the WCJ's decision to proceed to trial given the defendant's untimely request for additional QME evaluations and prior representations of discovery completion. The defendant's due process arguments were not persuasive as they failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable injury required for removal.
