Summary

Applicant Kathy Lejay's defendant employer/insurer filed a Petition for Removal challenging a WCJ's interim ruling. The Appeals Board reviewed the petition alongside the WCJ's report and found that the defendant failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm warranting the extraordinary remedy of removal, nor that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy. The Board therefore denied removal. The Board also formally admonished defense attorney Jane Ramirez of Colantoni, Collins, Marren, Phillips & Tulk for using offensive and disrespectful language impugning the WCJ's integrity by asserting the judge inappropriately assisted the applicant, warning that future violations could result in sanctions.
