CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted removal and rescinded a WCJ's order to show cause why sanctions should not be assessed against lien claimant VQ OrthoCare. This order stemmed from VQ OrthoCare's litigation manager inadvertently checking the wrong box on an e-form, requesting a status conference instead of a lien conference. The Board found no legal basis for sanctions under the applicable rules, as the error was a mistake on a recently amended form and did not constitute bad faith or frivolous conduct. The Petition for Reconsideration was dismissed as the order was interlocutory.
