CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of an order dismissing liens. The liens were dismissed by operation of law for failure to timely pay the lien activation fee, and a Notice of Intention to Dismiss was unnecessary. The lien claimant's representative was present when the dismissal order was issued, but argued the petition was timely based on the defendant's proof of service. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, which found the lien claimant had notice and the petition for reconsideration was frivolous.
