CompFox AI Summary

This case concerns a lien claimant, Frontier Medical, Inc., appealing sanctions imposed by a WCJ for its "bad-faith actions or tactics." The Appeals Board rescinded the original order, affirming the sanctions but deferring the issues of Frontier's lien, costs, and attorney fees to the trial level. The Board strongly admonished Frontier and its representatives for sanctionable conduct, including litigating a lien without evidence and misrepresenting facts.
