CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration because the discovery order compelling a home care assessment was not a final order. However, the WCAB granted the applicant's Petition for Removal to amend the discovery order. Specifically, the WCAB rescinded the portion allowing the defendant's attorney to be present during the in-home assessment, finding no legal or equitable basis for it and that it could irreparably harm the applicant's privacy.
