CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) vacated its prior decision that discovery closed on a specific date, as the defendant's petition for reconsideration was improper for an interlocutory order. A Compromise and Release agreement between the parties ultimately resolved all issues arising from the applicant's injury. The WCAB dismissed both the defendant's petition for reconsideration and their petition for removal, finding no prejudice or irreparable harm remained. The matter was returned to the trial level for consideration of the settlement agreement.
