CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the WCJ's order disallowing lien claimant's lien. The original order dismissing the lien was based on insufficient evidence in the record, as no testimony was taken and no exhibits were formally admitted into evidence. The Board found the verification defect in the petition for reconsideration to be non-jurisdictional and not prejudicial to the defendant. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings to develop the record and properly admit evidence.
