CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration, rescinding the dismissal of its lien claim. The dismissal stemmed from a failure to pay the lien activation fee before a lien conference, compounded by the lien claimant filing two similar liens and failing to appear at the conference. The Board found the fee was paid, but confusion from the dual filings led to the error. The matter is returned to the trial level, with the WCJ to consider a dismissal notice for non-appearance and potential sanctions.
