Applicant vs. Walgreens, Zurich American Insurance Company, Sedgwick

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) reviewed a defendant's petition for removal concerning two judicial orders. The WCAB initially dismissed the petition as untimely but later granted removal on its own motion due to concerns about sanctions. Despite finding the defendant's claims of prejudice and misrepresentations to be meritless, the WCAB ultimately decided not to impose sanctions. The matter is now returned to the trial level for further proceedings.
