CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's Petition for Removal, rescinding the WCJ's order vacating a prior dismissal of lien claims. The WCJ improperly treated a lien claimant's objection as a petition for reconsideration. This action was procedurally flawed as the objection predated the order it sought to challenge and was untimely. The WCJ's subsequent order to vacate the dismissal was also issued outside the permissible 15-day timeframe for WCJ action after reconsideration is sought.
