CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Zenith Insurance Company's petition for removal. Zenith sought removal of an order that required further development of the record regarding CIGA's reimbursement claims, specifically the production of outstanding bills and documentation. The Board agreed with the WCJ that Zenith had not demonstrated substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, despite acknowledging Zenith's frustration with CIGA's prolonged failure to produce necessary documents for a case settled over eight years prior. The matter was remanded to a Mandatory Settlement Conference, with the Board suggesting a limited timeframe for CIGA to produce the records.
