CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted removal to address the lien claimant's petition, finding that the administrative law judge's (WCJ) prior order was not a final decision and therefore reconsideration was improper. The WCAB agreed with the WCJ that insufficient evidence was presented by both parties to determine the reasonable value of the lien claimant's services. Consequently, the WCAB vacated its prior reconsideration order, dismissed the reconsideration petition, and returned the matter to the WCJ for further proceedings to allow development of the record.
