CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the defendant's petition for reconsideration because the WCJ's order setting the matter for trial was an interim procedural order, not a final determination of substantive rights or liabilities. The WCAB also denied the petition for removal, finding that the defendant failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy. The defendant can raise discovery requests with the trial judge.
