CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration of orders dismissing four lien claimants' liens. The WCAB found that the lien claimants were not afforded due process, as they lacked an opportunity to fully address the WCJ's findings regarding defective notices of representation and the suspended corporate status of their representative. Consequently, the WCAB rescinded the dismissal orders and returned the matter for further proceedings, allowing the lien claimants an opportunity to cure defects and present their case. The WCAB cautioned parties about potential sanctions for non-compliance with WCAB rules.
