CompFox AI Summary
In this workers' compensation case, the defendant sought to invalidate the applicant's requested QME panel. The defendant argued that the applicant's request was invalid because it was not served on their attorney. The Appeals Board denied the petition for removal, finding that while service on the attorney was required, the defendant's own QME request contained material defects, including misidentifying the treating physician's specialty and the reason for the request. Therefore, the WCJ's finding of the applicant's panel's validity did not cause irreparable harm.
