CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's petition for reconsideration because the WCJ's order setting a lien trial was an interlocutory procedural order, not a final decision on substantive rights. The Board found the defendant failed to demonstrate significant prejudice or irreparable harm, especially since their prior counsel missed two lien conferences. Therefore, reconsideration was unavailable, and removal was not warranted.
