CompFox AI Summary

This case involves a defendant's untimely petition for reconsideration of an order awarding attorney fees. The defendant argued that a later dental report indicated the applicant was not temporarily disabled for the entire period. However, the petition was filed 56 days after service, exceeding the 25-day limit for reconsideration. The Appeals Board dismissed the petition as untimely, finding no basis to act on its own motion. The Board also noted the defendant's request to rescind was not compelling given the timing of the supplemental report.
