CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of an order dismissing the applicant's case for failure to appear at a mandatory settlement conference. The dismissal was rescinded because the administrative law judge failed to issue a proper Notice of Intention to Dismiss as required by regulation before issuing the dismissal order. The Board found that the applicant's counsel had appeared at previous hearings and that no notice of intent was issued before the final dismissal. The case was returned to the trial level for further proceedings.
