CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied a petition for reconsideration filed by Weber Metals Inc. The defendant sought to overturn an order directing further record development through medical panels. The Board determined that while the WCJ's decision resolved threshold issues making it a final order, the defendant's challenge pertained solely to an interlocutory discovery order. Consequently, the Board applied the stricter "removal" standard and found that the defendant failed to demonstrate significant prejudice or irreparable harm, thus denying the petition.
