Kenneth Lee — ADJ13145400

Kenneth Lee, the applicant, sought removal from a WCJ's decision in his workers' compensation case against Express Employment Professionals, insured by American Home Assurance Company and administered by Sedgwick Claims Management Services. The petitioner argued that substantial prejudice or irreparable harm would result if removal was not granted. The Appeals Board, relying on the WCJ's report and analysis of the merits, found the petitioner failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice, irreparable harm, or that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy. The Board denied the Petition for Removal, characterizing removal as an extraordinary remedy rarely exercised.
