CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the Petition for Reconsideration because it was unverified and the petitioner failed to cure this defect after notice. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, which found no compelling reason for the lack of verification and that the petitioner did not act with diligence. Furthermore, the petitioner failed to demonstrate excusable neglect for not filing a required declaration and did not seek relief under Code of Civil Procedure section 473. Although the Board did not condone the petitioner's behavior, sanctions were not deemed warranted at this time.
