CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration because it was not filed from a final order, as Labor Code § 5900 only permits reconsideration of final decisions. The WCAB denied the defendant's Petition for Removal, finding no demonstration of irreparable harm from a discovery order requiring witness statement production prior to the applicant's deposition. Finally, the WCAB corrected a clerical error in the original award to accurately reflect that the applicant claims to have sustained an industrial injury, rather than definitively finding such an injury.
