CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration of a prior order. The applicant sought to have the case remanded to allow evidence on whether he was represented by counsel when obtaining a Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME). The WCAB found the prior order non-final, thus not subject to reconsideration, and denied the petition for removal as an extraordinary remedy. The applicant failed to demonstrate irreparable harm or that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy.
