CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a stipulation and order to pay a lien claimant. The defendant argued the judge lacked jurisdiction as the lien claimant had been previously dismissed for failing to appear at a conference. The Board found the judge acted in excess of jurisdiction by approving the order while the dismissal order was still in effect. Good cause existed to rescind the order because the lien claimant was properly dismissed and failed to seek rescission before appearing at trial.
