CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded a prior order that had imposed costs and sanctions on lien claimant American Liberty Interpreting. The Board found the petition for reconsideration was timely filed as the lien claimant's representative was not initially served. While the lien claimant did omit two dates of service, potentially to circumvent the statute of limitations, the Board determined this was not sufficient to constitute "bad faith" or frivolous tactics. Therefore, the Board ruled that the defendant was not entitled to sanctions against the lien claimant.
