CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration because it was taken from an interlocutory procedural order, not a final decision. Such orders, like the denial of a motion to dismiss, do not determine substantive rights or liabilities. The Board also noted that even if treated as a removal petition, it would have been denied as the defendant failed to show substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. Therefore, the petition was dismissed as procedurally improper.
