CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a lien claimant, Western Imaging Services (WIS), seeking payment for photocopying services. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and reversed a prior decision that disallowed WIS's lien. The WCAB found that WIS was exempt from registration and bonding requirements under Business and Professions Code § 22451(b) because it acted as an agent or independent contractor for applicant's attorney, a member of the State Bar. Consequently, the case was returned to the trial level for a new decision on the reasonable amount of WIS's fee.
