CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a defendant's Petition for Removal, which the Appeals Board denied. Removal is an extraordinary remedy granted only when substantial prejudice or irreparable harm would result, and reconsideration would be inadequate. The Administrative Law Judge (WCJ) found the defendant did not demonstrate such prejudice, as the applicant's efforts to develop evidence for a claimed psychiatric injury were reportedly thwarted by the defendant's actions. Therefore, the WCJ recommended denial, and the Appeals Board concurred, finding no basis to grant removal.
