Summary

Defendant Constellis Triple Canopy/Starr Indemnity filed a Petition for Removal in connection with a discovery dispute. The WCAB reviewed the petition and the WCJ's report on the merits. The Board reiterated that removal is an extraordinary remedy requiring a showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm and that reconsideration would be inadequate. The Board found WCJs have authority to decide discovery disputes and that defendant could raise its contentions before the trial WCJ in the first instance. The Board denied the Petition for Removal.
