CompFox AI Summary
Defendant filed a Petition for Reconsideration of a Findings and Award, challenging the deferral of issues regarding catastrophic injury and vocational expert fees. The Appeals Board, treating the petition under a removal standard despite a final order, agreed with the WCJ that the record was incomplete concerning applicant's work restrictions and vocational feasibility, thus requiring further development. Concluding that the defendant failed to establish substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if an adverse final decision ultimately issues, the Board denied the Petition for Reconsideration.
