CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration and denied removal because the WCJ's order rescinding a prior award was an interlocutory procedural order, not a final determination of substantive rights. The WCAB found no prejudice or irreparable harm to the defendant to justify removal, noting the stipulations upon which the original award was based may not have been properly entered. The matter is returned to the hearing level for further proceedings.
