While acknowledging AMR Group's egregious and meritless conduct, including filing a faulty Declaration of Readiness to Proceed, the WCAB rescinded a separate notice of intent to sanction. This second sanction notice was deemed improper as a prior WCJ had already addressed and dismissed a similar sanction for the same conduct. The WCAB emphasized that reissuing a sanction notice for the same actions violated due process.
