CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration of a finding that Aaron Industries unreasonably delayed paying a lien claimant. The original decision imposed a penalty, but the defendant argued it was denied due process as its objection was not considered. The WCAB agreed, finding the defendant's due process rights were violated because the administrative law judge issued the decision without reviewing the defendant's timely filed objection. The matter was therefore returned to the trial level for proper consideration of the defendant's arguments.
