CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded an order imposing a $1,000 sanction against lien claimant Joyce Altman Interpreters. The sanction was initially imposed by a WCJ for allegedly frivolously pursuing costs and sanctions despite the interpreter lien being resolved. However, the Board found the record unclear regarding the interpreter's awareness of the defendant's prior notice about providing an interpreter. Lacking sufficient evidence of bad faith or indisputably meritless claims, the Board returned the matter for further proceedings to ensure substantial justice.
