CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a defendant's petition for reconsideration of a $$1000$ sanction order for bad-faith actions. The sanction was imposed due to the defendant's egregious delay and frivolous objections in paying a $$180$ interpreter's lien, which took over eight months and required multiple billings and a court order. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the petition, upholding the WCJ's finding of frivolous conduct intended to cause unnecessary delay. The Board also affirmed that due process was satisfied by providing the defendant notice and an opportunity to respond to the sanctions.
