CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a defendant's petition for reconsideration or removal from an administrative order. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the petition for reconsideration because it was not taken from a "final" order, as defined by statute and case law. The Board also denied the petition for removal, adopting the reasoning of the administrative law judge that the defendant failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. The case is being returned to the trial level to set a status conference and potentially a trial to determine the validity of the defendant's request for applicant re-examination.
