CompFox AI Summary
In this workers' compensation case, the defendant petitioned for removal, arguing the trial should not proceed due to issues with the Agreed Medical Evaluator's (AME) review and deposition scheduling, as well as the applicant's failure to raise the injury AOE/COE in her declaration of readiness. The Appeals Board granted the petition, finding the applicant's omission of AOE/COE from her DOR problematic. Consequently, the Board redesignated the scheduled trial as a mandatory settlement conference to allow for further resolution, especially after the AME provided a supplemental report.
