CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration, rescinding the prior order that barred the lien claim, imposed sanctions, and awarded attorney's fees. The Board found that the lien claimant was not properly served with the underlying Compromise and Release, potentially tolling the statute of limitations for their lien. Furthermore, the original order failed to provide adequate notice for dismissal and sanctions, and improperly identified or failed to serve parties involved. Therefore, the Board vacated the administrative law judge's order and remanded the case.
