Summary

Applicant Dario Morales Dominguez resolved his cumulative trauma claim by Compromise and Release, after which lien claimant ABC International filed a lien for interpreting services. At a lien trial, WCJ Joy issued an Order requiring both defendant's claims adjuster and the adjuster's supervisor to appear in person at the next trial, citing concerns about CCR 10880(a)(3) settlement authority. Defendant sought removal, arguing no good cause existed and the in-person appearance constituted an undue burden. The Appeals Board granted removal, finding the in-person requirement excessive given that the WCJ's goals could be accomplished by virtual or telephonic appearance. The Board amended the Minute Order to require the adjuster and supervisor to appear electronically or telephonically.
