CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the lien claimant's petitions for reconsideration, vacating the initial dismissal order and rescinding the subsequent dismissal order. This was because the first dismissal order was issued before the deadline for filing an objection, rendering it void. Furthermore, the Board found that the lien claimant had timely filed an objection to the Notice of Intention to Dismiss, which the trial judge seemingly did not consider before issuing the second dismissal. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings, including the consideration of the timely objection and potential sanctions.
