Here's a summary of the case in four sentences:
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for removal, which sought to rescind an order closing discovery and continuing the case to trial. The defendant argued the claim was barred by intoxication and that a toxicology QME report was necessary. The Board found that other dispositive issues, like statute of limitations or fraud, could be decided without a QME report. Therefore, the Board found no substantial prejudice to the defendant from the discovery closure.
