CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded a prior order dismissing a lien claim. The dismissal was improper because the lien claimant's representative, MJR Management Services, was never served with a Notice of Intention to Dismiss. It is a well-established legal principle that a lien cannot be dismissed without proper notice and an opportunity to be heard. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision.
