CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted CIGA's petition for removal, rescinding an order for their claims examiner, Christine Harris, to appear at a conference. The Board found that since CIGA now has legal counsel and testimony would not be taken, Harris' personal appearance was unnecessary and would cause undue hardship. They reasoned that Harris could provide necessary information to counsel and be available by phone, deferring her mandatory attendance to a potential future trial. A dissenting opinion argued that CIGA failed to demonstrate sufficient prejudice for removal.
