CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the defendant's petition for reconsideration because it was filed against an interlocutory order compelling the service of medical-legal reports, not a final order. The Board also denied the defendant's petition for removal, finding no substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. The WCAB noted that the defendant's arguments regarding procedural due process were unfounded as they had a hearing and opportunity to be heard. Finally, the Board admonished the defendant's representative for misstating facts, citing outdated authority, and filing improper petitions, warning of future sanctions.
