CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration because the WCJ's Minute Order setting the case for trial was not a final order. The Board also denied the defendant's Petition for Removal, finding no evidence of significant prejudice or irreparable harm as required for such extraordinary relief. The defendant had argued the trial was improperly set due to incomplete medical evidence regarding causation for all claimed injuries. The Appeals Board determined the WCJ's order did not dispose of substantive rights and liabilities, thus not being a final order, and that removal was not warranted.
