CompFox AI Summary

This case involves two lien claimants, Vogel and Interpreting Group, Inc., whose liens were dismissed after their representative failed to appear at a rescheduled lien trial. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration because the representative claimed they never received notice of the rescheduled trial, which was moved to an earlier date. Given the lack of conclusive evidence of notice and the unique circumstances of the rescheduling, the Board rescinded the dismissal orders. The matter is returned to the trial level for further proceedings to adjudicate the lien claims on their merits.
