CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Mark Savey's petition for reconsideration because it was untimely filed. California law allows 25 days for filing, with extensions for weekends or holidays, but the petition was received by the WCAB more than 25 days after the WCJ's decision. This jurisdictional defect meant the WCAB lacked authority to consider the petition. Even if timely, the petition would have been denied on the merits according to the WCJ's report.
