CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to lien claimant California Imaging Solutions, Inc. (CIS). The prior decision disallowed CIS's lien based on its failure to register as a professional copier and meet its burden of proof for an exemption. The Board reversed, holding that CIS made an unrebutted prima facie showing that it acted as an agent or independent contractor for attorneys, thus exempting it from registration requirements under Business and Professions Code section 22451(b), consistent with the en banc decision in Cornejo. The case was remanded for a new decision on the lien.
