KAREN VOTAW vs. COSTCO WHOLESALE
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for removal, finding it an extraordinary remedy that was not warranted in this case. The Board determined that the defendant failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm if removal was not granted, nor did they show that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy. The Board also admonished the defendant's attorney for improperly attaching unadmitted evidence to the petition. Therefore, the petition for removal was denied.
