CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted the applicant's petition for removal, overturning a prior order that had denied joinder of the Uninsured Employers Benefits Trust Fund (UEBTF). This decision was based on a procedural defect where the joinder petition was filed before substituted service was completed. However, since service was subsequently completed, the WCAB found it judicially economical to grant removal and join the UEBTF as a party defendant. The UEBTF is now ordered to be joined, and all parties must serve them with relevant case documents.
