CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's Petition for Removal, upholding a WCJ's decision to keep lien claimants on calendar. The defendant argued liens should be dismissed for failure to pay activation fees, but the Board found no proof the lien claimants received notice of the lien conference. Therefore, the liens were not subject to dismissal for non-payment of fees at that juncture. The case was returned to the trial level for a new lien conference with proper notice to all parties.
