Sarah Avary — ADJ11744627

Defendant State Compensation Insurance Fund (legally uninsured, administered by State Fund Employee Claims) filed a petition for removal from a WCJ order dated May 26, 2026, requiring defendant to disclose to applicant the names of all adjusters with access to applicant's claim file. Defendant argued the order denied due process, was unreasonable and overbroad, and violated the privacy rights of the individuals involved. The Appeals Board denied removal, finding defendant failed to show substantial prejudice or irreparable harm and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if a final adverse decision ultimately issued. The Board emphasized that once the parties proceed to trial, they will have an opportunity to create a record, raise all relevant issues including whether the order should be set aside or modified, and submit evidence.
