CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and rescinded the Administrative Law Judge's (ALJ) order disallowing Reshealth Medical Group's lien. The ALJ had found the assignment of the lien invalid due to an undated, untitled, and illegibly signed document, and because Reshealth was a suspended corporation. However, the WCAB found that the ALJ failed to provide a sufficient opinion, develop the record regarding Reshealth's corporate status and the assignment date, and potentially denied due process by raising the assignment's validity sua sponte without notice. The case was returned to the trial level for further development of the record.
