SHAUN WOOD vs. JOHNSON AND JOHNSON, permissibly self-insured, administered by BROADSPIRE

The Appeals Board granted defendant's petition for removal, rescinding an order compelling employee depositions. The original order was issued ex parte, depriving the defendant of an opportunity to object. The Board found the order deficient because it lacked a required clause allowing it to be voided upon a timely objection showing good cause. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings and a hearing on the defendant's objections.
