CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's petitions for reconsideration and removal, finding no final order was issued that would permit reconsideration, and the applicant failed to demonstrate significant prejudice or irreparable harm for removal. The WCAB will return the case to the trial level for a hearing on the defendant's petition to declare the applicant a vexatious litigant, as the applicant appears to be repeatedly relitigating issues and filing unmeritorious motions. The WCJ will then proceed with the trial if appropriate after determining the vexatious litigant status.
