CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and rescinded an administrative law judge's order sanctioning a lien claimant and its representative. The WCAB found that the lien claimant's representative was misled into believing that withdrawing the lien would negate the need for the doctor's appearance at a hearing. Due to ambiguity in the judge's orders and the lien claimant's good-faith withdrawal of its claim, the sanctions were deemed unwarranted.
