CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed defendants' petitions for reconsideration because the Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) order to develop the record was not a final determination of any substantive issue. The WCAB also denied the defendants' petitions for removal, finding that the WCJ acted within their authority to ensure due process. The WCJ's order allowed for the development of the record, including potential testimony from a realtor, Mr. Bonafede, to address the applicant's request for commutation. This action aimed to preserve defendants' rights and did not preclude them from seeking rebuttal evidence.
