CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration because the WCJ's order regarding Agreed Medical Examiners (AMEs) was not a final order. The Board also denied the defendant's Petition for Removal, finding no significant prejudice or irreparable harm to justify the extraordinary remedy. Furthermore, the defendant's request for removal concerning former defense counsel's testimony was untimely as the issue had already been submitted for decision. The defendant had argued its former counsel did not authorize the AME agreement and sought to introduce new evidence.
