CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration because it was not timely filed from a final order, as the WCJ's decision addressed only an intermediate procedural issue. The Petition for Removal was also denied, as the petitioner failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, nor that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy. This ruling reinforces that interlocutory decisions in workers' compensation cases are not subject to immediate appellate review. Therefore, the case proceeds on its procedural merits without early intervention.
