CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and vacated a dismissal order because the applicant's case was dismissed for lack of prosecution without adequate notice. Due to confusion regarding the applicant's correct address and SCIF's mailing of notices to incorrect locations, the applicant was unaware of the dismissal hearing. The WCAB found that the time for the applicant to petition for reconsideration was tolled due to the lack of proper service, and therefore rescinded the dismissal order. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings.
