The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and rescinded a prior decision. The WCAB found that the administrative law judge violated due process by converting a status conference into a trial without proper notice, precluding the lien claimant from presenting evidence. The prior decision improperly awarded sanctions and attorney's fees against the lien claimant and its representatives. The WCAB determined that procedural errors meant a more favorable outcome was probable for the lien claimant if due process had been followed.
