Summary

Defendant petitioned for reconsideration of the WCJ's August 19, 2022 Order Denying its Petition to Dismiss applicant's two inactive claims. The Board first reclassified the petition as one for removal because the order denying dismissal was non-final/interlocutory. The Board found defendant failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, failed to serve the applicant directly with the required pre-dismissal letter under WCAB Rule 10550(b), and that the cases had been reactivated for hearing (restarting the one-year clock). The Board also rejected defendant's argument that applicant had to personally attend hearings, holding that under Rule 10752 either applicant or her attorney may appear. The Order Denying Petition to Dismiss was affirmed.
