CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns a lien claimant's petition for reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) order that approved a stipulation settling their lien for $50 out of $1,325. The lien claimant argued mutual mistake of fact, claiming they lacked a complete itemization of charges and there was no meeting of the minds. The WCAB denied reconsideration, finding the lien claimant failed to demonstrate mutual mistake and instead appeared to seek relief from their own unilateral mistake. The Board also noted the lien claimant attached already-filed exhibits to their petition, warning of potential sanctions for repeated rule violations.
