CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded a WCJ's order taking the applicant's case off calendar. The WCJ had dismissed the case based on a prior dismissal for lack of prosecution, but the Board found the applicant's petition for reconsideration was timely filed despite initial clerical errors. The Board found the original order procedurally defective and lacking in evidentiary support or explanation, thus returning the matter to the trial level for further proceedings.
