They argue this violates their due process rights and will cause irreparable harm by forcing them to pay benefits without accounting for a substantial third-party recovery. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board majority denied removal, agreeing with the WCJ that no due process violation or irreparable harm occurred as the issues can be addressed later. A dissenting Commissioner would have granted removal, finding the Defendant's right to credit requires prompt adjudication, especially given the applicant's significant third-party settlement and the employer negligence allegations.
