Here's a summary of the case for a lawyer, in four sentences:
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the applicant's petition for removal, rescinding the prior order setting two cases for trial. The applicant claimed irreparable harm due to an incomplete medical record and lack of discovery opportunity, particularly concerning newly alleged cumulative injuries and additional body parts. The Board found the evidentiary record supported the applicant's assertion of insufficient discovery, noting a recent change in legal representation prevented thorough development. Consequently, the matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings, potentially including a status conference to address the underdeveloped record.
