CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and rescinded an order dismissing Jose Mejorada's claim for lack of prosecution. The dismissal occurred because the applicant's attorney allegedly failed to provide updated contact information, leading to missed notices. However, the WCAB found that the defendant had been sending mail to an incorrect address, and the applicant's attorney's failure to update their address on file was not sufficient cause for dismissal given these circumstances. The case was returned to the trial level for further proceedings.
