CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's Petition for Removal due to due process concerns. The Board found that the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) improperly denied the defendant's Petition to Quash a deposition notice without providing the defendant an opportunity to be heard. The ALJ's order was also procedurally flawed as it was not properly served and did not comply with WCAB rules for walk-through petitions. Consequently, the Board rescinded the ALJ's order and returned the matter for further proceedings and a new decision.
