MARGARITA RODRIGUEZ vs. TARGET CORPORATION, SEDGWICK CMS
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied Target Corporation's petition for removal to the WCAB. Removal is an extraordinary remedy granted only when substantial prejudice or irreparable harm will result, and reconsideration is inadequate. The WCAB found that Target failed to demonstrate either of these conditions, adopting the Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) reasoning that the defendant was properly served with notice of the hearing. The Board also admonished defense counsel for failing to include their bar numbers on the petition.
