CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) rescinded an order dismissing California Imaging's lien claim for failure to pay a lien activation fee. This decision was based on two grounds: a federal court injunction enjoining enforcement of the fee provisions and the lien claimant's argument that the fee was not due before a lien trial in 2013. The WCAB clarified that the lien activation fee was only required at a lien conference held after January 1, 2013, which had not occurred in this case. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings.
