CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of an order dismissing a lien. The lien claimant argued it never received the notice of intention to dismiss, but the Board found this contradictory as they had filed an objection. The Board also noted the lien claimant miscited and misrepresented relevant rules, and presented arguments previously rejected by the Board. Consequently, the Board issued a notice of intention to impose sanctions of up to $2,500 against the lien claimant and its representatives for frivolous conduct and misrepresentations.
