CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board considered a petition for removal, treating it as a petition for reconsideration. The Board reviewed the WCJ's report and analysis, noting the WCJ's decision was a final order because it resolved a threshold issue regarding employment and jurisdiction. Although the decision was final, the Board applied the removal standard since the petitioner only challenged an interlocutory finding. Ultimately, the Board denied the petition, concluding that no substantial prejudice or irreparable harm would result from denial, and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if an adverse final decision were to issue.
