JOSE ALVISO vs. CLS LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT, REDWOOD FIRE & CASUALTY, Administered By BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOMESTATE COMPANIES

Here's a summary of the case in four sentences for a lawyer:

Lien claimant Sidhu Chiropractic's lien was dismissed due to non-appearance at a lien trial and failure to respond to a notice of intention to dismiss. Sidhu claimed it did not receive the notices, attributing the issue to mis-calendaring and misplacing documents after assigning the case file to a hearing representative. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the dismissal order, and returned the matter for further proceedings based on the policy favoring hearings on the merits. The Board noted that mis-calendaring alone is insufficient justification for non-appearance and left it to the WCJ's discretion to consider sanctions for the lien claimant's conduct.
