CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and rescinded a WCJ's order dismissing a lien claim. The dismissal was based on the lien claimant's failure to pay a lien activation fee for a conference that was improperly added to the calendar. The WCAB found the conference was not properly set under Court Administrator Rule 10250 because no Declaration of Readiness to Proceed had been filed for that specific case, and the defendant's request for consolidation lacked necessary declarations. Therefore, the WCAB vacated the dismissal and ordered the matter off calendar, requiring a proper Declaration of Readiness to be filed to set the lien conference.
