Defendant ARB, Inc./Primoris Services Corp., administered by The Hartford, petitioned for removal from a WCJ's order setting the matter for trial issued August 13, 2025, contending that discovery was not yet complete. The WCJ filed a Report recommending denial. The Appeals Board denied removal, finding that defendant failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if a final adverse decision later issued. The Board noted that once the parties proceed to trial, they will have an opportunity to raise the issue of further development of the record, which the trial WCJ can then evaluate.
