CompFox AI Summary
This case involves an applicant who sustained industrial injuries. The defendant sought reconsideration of an order that found the medical reports stale and vacated submission to further develop the record. The Appeals Board dismissed the petition for reconsideration because the order was not a final determination of substantive rights. The petition for removal was denied as the defendant failed to demonstrate significant prejudice or irreparable harm, and that reconsideration would not be an adequate remedy. However, the Board clarified that the defendant's utilization review report was timely as it was based on a subsequent request for authorization.
