CompFox AI Summary

The Appeals Board granted the applicant's Petition for Removal, finding she would suffer prejudice if forced to trial on issues beyond a QME dispute. Applicant had requested a hearing solely on the validity of a QME report and her request for a replacement panel. Despite her explicit DOR, the case was improperly set for trial on all issues before discovery was complete. The Board amended the prior order to limit the trial to the QME dispute.
