CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration because it was not taken from a "final" order, but rather an interlocutory procedural decision. Furthermore, the petition for removal was denied as no substantial prejudice or irreparable harm was demonstrated. Even if the order were considered final, reconsideration would have been denied based on the record indicating the applicant's attorney did not intend to waive objections to the substantive admission of Dr. Blau's reports without an opportunity for cross-examination. Therefore, the petition was dismissed and removal was denied.
