CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendants' Petition for Removal, deeming it an extraordinary remedy not warranted in this case. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, finding no substantial prejudice or irreparable harm if removal is denied, and that reconsideration will be an adequate remedy. The WCJ determined the case needed to move towards resolution given the age of the injuries and the outdated AME report, and that discovery disputes could be addressed at the upcoming Mandatory Settlement Conference.
