The Appeals Board denied SaveMart Supermarkets' Petition for Removal because the employer failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm from the Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) order to further develop the record. The WCJ found that the Qualified Medical Examiner's (QME) report was not substantial evidence as it relied on facts that were proven untrue during the hearing. The Appeals Board agreed with the WCJ that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if the matter proceeded to a final decision adverse to the employer.
