CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and rescinded an order dismissing applicant Teola Carter's case. The dismissal stemmed from her failure to appear at two trial dates, but the WCAB found that applicant may not have received adequate notice due to a change in her residence. Since applicant's attorney appeared at both trials and there's a strong policy favoring disposition on the merits, the matter was returned for further proceedings.
