Summary

Applicant Sean Wilson filed a Petition for Removal challenging the WCJ's order to develop the record by obtaining supplemental vocational expert reporting. The WCJ had vacated submission of the case in chief after the en banc decision in Nunes v. DMV, finding the existing vocational reports non-compliant with Nunes. Applicant argued the case (approximately eight years old) should be decided on the current record without further development, partly because a Petition for Reconsideration was pending in Nunes. The Board found the Nunes appeal argument moot because reconsideration there was denied on August 29, 2023, and held the WCJ had discretion to develop the record. The Board denied removal, finding applicant failed to show substantial prejudice or irreparable harm and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy.
