CompFox AI Summary
The WCAB granted reconsideration and rescinded the dismissal of a lien claimant's interpreter services lien. The lien was dismissed for non-appearance at a lien conference, but the claimant argued they were too ill to attend and had notified the court via email, with a representative available by phone. The WCAB found that illness, in this context, constituted good cause for non-appearance, especially since the dismissal order was issued over 22 months later. Therefore, the matter was returned to the WCJ for further proceedings.
