Here is a summary of the case for a lawyer:
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of an order dismissing lien claimant Jerry A. Jacobson's attorney fee lien. The dismissal was based on Mr. Jacobson's failure to appear at a mandatory settlement conference, but the Board found the WCJ improperly designated applicant's counsel to serve a self-executing dismissal order. Furthermore, there was no proof of service of the dismissal order or confirmation that a timely objection was not received. The Board rescinded the dismissal order and returned the case to the trial level for proper notice and further proceedings.
