Julianne Beaupre vs. Nestle Usa Inc American Home Assurance Company Administered By Sedgwick Claims Management Services Inc
In this case, Julianne Beaupre filed a petition for removal with the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board, which was denied. Removal is an extraordinary remedy rarely exercised by the Appeals Board, and the petitioner must demonstrate that substantial prejudice or irreparable harm will result if removal is not granted and that reconsideration will not be an adequate remedy if a final decision adverse to the petitioner ultimately issues. The Appeals Board found that Beaupre had not met these requirements and denied the petition for removal.
