CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed a petition for reconsideration filed by lien claimants Marquee, Precise, and Premium Interpreting. The lien claimants argued they were not properly served with the Notice of Intention to Dismiss Liens and that their representative did appear. However, their petition was filed on August 8, 2012, which was beyond the 20-day (plus potential 5-day mail extension) statutory deadline following service of the July 11, 2012 Order Dismissing Liens. Because the petition was untimely, the WCAB lacked jurisdiction to consider the merits of their arguments.
