CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns a lien claimant's petition for reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision that denied their claim for photocopy services. The initial decision found the services were not reasonable and necessary because a "contested claim" had not yet been established when the records were ordered. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, finding that a contested claim did exist by the time the subpoenas were issued, as the defendant had filed a declaration of readiness to proceed on key issues. Therefore, the matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings to determine the lien claimant's entitlement.
