CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted applicant's petition for removal to review an order that denied her petition for automatic reassignment of a judge. The original denial was based on the applicant's failure to make an oral objection to the assigned judge as required by rule. However, the Board found insufficient record evidence, including the absence of a hearing and required documentation, to determine if the denial was supported by substantial evidence. Therefore, the Board rescinded the denial order and remanded the matter for further proceedings.
