CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to review the WCJ's award to a copy service lien claimant. The Board found that while a contested claim existed and most services were reasonable and necessary, the WCJ erred by not evaluating the reasonable value of the copying services as required by Labor Code section 4622. The Board also questioned whether the lien claimant properly objected to the defendant's explanations of review within the statutory timeframe. Consequently, the Findings and Award were rescinded and the matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings on these issues.
