CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted Freda Payne's petition for reconsideration, rescinding the prior dismissal of her case. The dismissal was based on failure to prosecute, specifically missing two depositions and not responding to a Notice of Intention to Dismiss (NIT). The Board found that Payne's attorney filed a timely objection to the NIT, which, along with ongoing settlement discussions and the sparse record, warranted further proceedings. Therefore, the case was returned to the WCJ for further action.
