Summary

Applicant Edette King filed a Petition for Removal in three consolidated cases against Walmart, Inc. and ACE American (administered by Sedgwick). The Appeals Board considered the petition along with the WCJ's report on the merits. The Board emphasized that removal is an extraordinary remedy granted only upon a showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, and that the petitioner must demonstrate reconsideration would not be an adequate remedy. Finding that the petitioner failed to make this showing, and noting that the parties could raise all relevant issues (including the propriety of further discovery) at trial, the Board denied the Petition for Removal.
