CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration because the order they sought to reconsider was not a final order, as it merely provided an opportunity to litigate a lien claim. The WCAB also denied the defendant's Petition for Removal, finding no evidence of significant prejudice or irreparable harm. The WCJ correctly vacated a prior order dismissing a lien claimant's claim due to a lack of proof of service. Therefore, the matter will proceed to further litigation regarding the lien.
