CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's petition for reconsideration because the judge's order quashing a subpoena for personnel records was an interlocutory order, not a final determination of rights or liability. Furthermore, the Board denied the defendant's request for removal, finding no evidence of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm that would justify this extraordinary remedy. The Board agreed that the subpoena for confidential employment records was not a reasonable discovery request and that the defendant failed to demonstrate a compelling need or inability to obtain the information through less intrusive means.
