Summary

Lien claimant Precise Interpreting petitioned for reconsideration of a November 2020 WCJ order dismissing its interpreting lien with prejudice for failure to prosecute under former Rule 10582.5. The petition was timely filed on November 17, 2020, but the Appeals Board failed to act within the 60-day statutory period under Labor Code section 5909 due to a procedural error. Relying on Shipley v. WCAB, the Board held its time to act was tolled and that the system's inadequacies should not burden the party. On the merits, the WCJ's adopted report noted that Rule 10582.5 had been repealed effective January 1, 2020, and that Rule 10888 dismissal authority was suspended by Misc. No. 260 (In re: Covid 19 State of Emergency). The Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the Order Dismissing Lien, and returned the matter to the trial level for further proceedings.
