CompFox AI Summary
This case involves lien claimants who filed their liens in 2012 but failed to submit timely Labor Code section 4903.8(d) declarations, which were required for liens filed before January 1, 2013, by January 1, 2014. The WCAB granted reconsideration, rescinded the WCJ's order dismissing the liens, and returned the matter for further proceedings. The Board found that while the declarations were untimely, the specific remedy for such untimeliness for pre-2013 liens is not defined in the statute. However, the Board noted that the WCAB possesses equitable powers, including the application of the doctrine of laches, to address unjustifiable delay in lien claims.
