This case involves a lien claimant, Integrative Industrial, challenging a Workers' Compensation Judge's order that awarded $6,730.00 as full payment for outstanding balances, with penalties and interest waived if paid within 25 days. The claimant argued a due process violation, as they were allegedly denied an actual lien trial and opportunity to present evidence. The Appeals Board denied the petition for removal but granted reconsideration, rescinded the order, and returned the case to the trial level for further proceedings, recognizing the dispute over whether a settlement was reached. The Board also instructed the lien claimant to return the defendant's payment of $6,750.00 before any future lien trial.
