CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration because the WCJ's order vacating a prior dismissal is not a final order. The Board also denied the defendant's Petition for Removal, finding no evidence of significant prejudice or irreparable harm. The Board noted that a technical issue with the EAMS system may have prevented the WCJ from seeing the applicant's objection to dismissal. Therefore, the matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings.
