ERMINIA AMY MASINI PEREZ vs. ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP OF SAN JOSE, AND CHURCH MUTUAL INSURANCE CO.

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's Petition for Removal. Removal is an extraordinary remedy granted only when substantial prejudice or irreparable harm is shown, and reconsideration is deemed an inadequate remedy. The Board found that the defendant failed to demonstrate such prejudice or harm, adopting the administrative law judge's reasoning. The Board also accepted the defendant's supplemental pleading.
