Summary

Defendant State Compensation Insurance Fund filed a petition for removal from a December 17, 2024 order compelling production of documents, arguing the materials were protected by trade secret privilege. The WCJ recommended denial because the very issue of whether production was warranted had already been expressly set for hearing at the subsequent mandatory settlement conference. The Appeals Board denied removal, finding defendant failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, or that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy. The Board also admonished defendant and its attorney that filing the petition appeared wholly unnecessary and could constitute frivolous or bad-faith conduct since all raised issues were already set for hearing.
