CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the applicant's petition for removal to address an insufficient record concerning a denied change of venue. The original judge denied the venue change from Santa Barbara to Oxnard, despite the Subsequent Injuries Benefits Trust Fund (SIBTF) initially intending to grant it. Subsequently, SIBTF withdrew its objection, but the judge's decision was already issued, preventing consideration of this withdrawal. The Board rescinded the denial orders and returned the case for further proceedings to establish a proper record.
