CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the lien claimant's Petition for Reconsideration because the challenged order, which concluded a deposition, was procedural and not a final determination of substantive rights. The WCAB also denied the petition for removal, finding procedural defects including improper service on defendant's counsel and incomplete submission of evidence by the lien claimant. Furthermore, the WCAB found no abuse of discretion in ordering the deposition to continue and rejected the untimely claim of judicial bias. Ultimately, both the petition for reconsideration and removal were denied based on these grounds.
