Summary

Defendant Automobile Club of Southern California (insured by Old Republic, administered by Cannon Cochran Management Services) filed a petition for removal challenging a WCJ's August 12, 2025 order taking the matter off calendar. Defendant sought to proceed on a bifurcated trial of its affirmative defense under Labor Code section 3208.3(d) (the good-faith personnel action/psychiatric injury defense). The WCJ declined to bifurcate and recommended denial of removal. The Appeals Board agreed, finding defendant failed to show substantial prejudice or irreparable harm and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if a final adverse decision later issued. Removal was denied.
