The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the lien claimant's (LAO) petition for reconsideration as untimely and unverified. The WCAB granted removal on its own motion, rescinded the judge's finding that LAO's lien was resolved, and returned the matter for further proceedings. This decision stemmed from an unclear record regarding service of notice and LAO's opportunity to be heard on whether its lien was resolved. The WCAB admonished LAO for its conduct, citing a failure to provide proper notification of representatives, which caused confusion and wasted board resources.
