CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a petition for reconsideration of an order vacating a Compromise and Release. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the petition because it was not taken from a "final" order that determined substantive rights. The WCAB also denied removal, finding no showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. However, the WCAB noted that the administrative law judge should have set the matter for a conference to determine good cause to set aside the order rather than vacating it directly.
