CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed a lien claimant's petition for reconsideration as premature. The lien claimant sought to overturn a stipulation and order for payment of $$840.00$, alleging the amount did not reflect the value of services and its representative lacked authority. The WCAB found that no evidence or testimony under oath supported these claims, necessitating a hearing at the trial level to establish good cause for setting aside the stipulation. Therefore, the matter was returned to the WCJ to schedule a hearing before any appeal to the WCAB could be considered.
