Summary

Defendant Technology Insurance Company, administered by AmTrust, filed a Petition for Reconsideration challenging the WCJ's Order Rescinding Findings and Order in Manuel Higareda's claim. The Board determined that the rescinding order was an interim procedural/discovery order—not a final order—because it deferred any finding on sanctions/costs and ordered the matter off-calendar pending discovery. Accordingly, the Board dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration as not subject to reconsideration and treated it as a petition for removal. Applying the removal standard, the Board found defendant failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, and denied removal. The Board also addressed the timeliness of its action under amended Labor Code section 5909, concluding it acted within 60 days of the August 7, 2024 transmission date.
