PAUL DAVIS vs. ADVOCATES FOR MENTALLY ILL HOUSING INC., NON-PROFITS UNITED SELF-INSURED GROUP, SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES

The Appeals Board denied the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration. The WCJ had ordered further development of the medical record, specifically requesting additional records and a supplemental report from a QME. The defendant argued against this order, claiming the applicant failed to prosecute the case diligently. However, the Board found no evidence of significant prejudice or irreparable harm to the defendant if the order was not overturned. Therefore, the Board declined to grant removal and denied the petition.
