Summary

Defendant filed a Petition for Removal or alternatively Reconsideration challenging the WCJ's Findings and Order issued October 15, 2020. The Board had previously granted reconsideration but, upon further review, determined the WCJ's decision resolved only an intermediate procedural or evidentiary issue rather than any substantive right, liability, or threshold issue. Because the order was not 'final,' reconsideration was not the proper vehicle, so the Board vacated its prior grant and dismissed the petition as one seeking reconsideration. The Board also denied removal, finding defendant failed to show substantial prejudice or irreparable harm or that reconsideration would be inadequate. The Board addressed the Labor Code section 5909 timing issue by invoking Shipley, holding its time to act was tolled due to a procedural error.
