CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration and denied their Petition for Removal. The defendant sought to overturn a Minute Order that merely continued the case to a Mandatory Settlement Conference (MSC), arguing it would cause prejudice. The WCAB found no substantial prejudice or irreparable harm justifying removal, and a continuance of a non-final order is not grounds for reconsideration. Therefore, the WCAB admonished the defendant for delaying proceedings with these unsuccessful petitions.
