This en banc decision clarifies the requirements for paying the lien activation fee under Labor Code section 4903.06. The lien activation fee must be paid before a lien conference begins, not when the case is actually called. Failure to pay the fee or provide proof of payment by this deadline results in the lien's dismissal with prejudice. Importantly, a defendant's procedural breaches do not excuse the lien claimant's obligation to pay the fee.
