The WCJ had imposed these sanctions due to Tigetek's failure to appear at multiple hearings. However, the Appeals Board found that Tigetek did not receive adequate notice of the hearings or the potential for sanctions from the Board itself. While acknowledging Tigetek's disregard for some notices from applicant's attorney, the Board ultimately rescinded the sanctions due to insufficient notice from the WCJ.
