Summary

Applicant Jill Brown filed a petition for removal from a WCJ's order of continuance issued May 18, 2026, arguing that discovery was complete and the matter should proceed to trial. Defendant filed an Answer, and the WCJ submitted a Report and Recommendation recommending denial. The Appeals Board, applying the extraordinary-remedy standard for removal, found that applicant failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, and that reconsideration would provide an adequate remedy if a final adverse decision later issues. The Board also noted it could not evaluate whether further discovery was warranted without a formal trial record. The petition for removal was denied.
