CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a lien claimant, Associated Reproduction Services (ARS), seeking full payment for document copying services related to an injured worker's claim. ARS argues that Labor Code section 5307.9, which limits fees for services provided within 30 days of a request, does not apply because they did not subpoena records from the employer or insurer directly. The Appeals Board rescinded the previous order, finding that the fee schedule required by Section 5307.9 was not effective when the services were rendered. The matter is returned to the trial level to determine payment of the lien under Labor Code sections 4620 and 4622, considering the defendant's obligation to timely object to contested expenses.
