CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed a lien claimant's petition for reconsideration because the WCJ's Notice of Intention to Dismiss Liens was not a final order. Reconsideration can only be sought from a final order that determines substantive rights or liabilities. As no such order has been issued, the petition is premature. The matter is returned to the trial level for further proceedings to determine notice and potential sanctions.
