CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to review an order dismissing a lien claim due to the lien claimant's non-appearance at a lien conference. The WCAB found that the lien claimant's representative was present and signed in, therefore the dismissal for non-appearance was erroneous. Due to defective service of the dismissal order, the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration was deemed timely. Consequently, the WCAB vacated the dismissal order and returned the matter to the trial level for further proceedings, upholding the lien claimant's right to due process.
