CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted a lien claimant's petition for reconsideration of an order dismissing their lien. The dismissal occurred after the claimant failed to appear for a lien trial, but the claimant later submitted a document appearing to be an objection to the dismissal. The Board found that due to administrative backlogs from the conversion to a new electronic system, this objection may not have been properly considered. Consequently, the Board rescinded the dismissal order and returned the matter for further proceedings to litigate the merits of the lien.
