Margie Bush — ADJ12647837

Applicant Margie Bush filed a Petition for Removal in her workers' compensation case against Amazon.com, Inc. The Appeals Board considered the petition's allegations alongside the WCJ's report on the merits. Applying the standard that removal is an extraordinary remedy granted only when substantial prejudice or irreparable harm would result, the Board found no such showing and concluded reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if a final adverse decision later issued. The Board denied removal but cautioned applicant's attorney to pursue discovery diligently and admonished defense counsel for attaching documents not admitted into evidence, in violation of WCAB rules.
