CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a dispute over the reasonableness of a medical provider's lien for treatment rendered to an injured worker. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration of the trial judge's decision, but also issued notices of intention to impose sanctions against both the defendant school district and the lien claimant. Both parties are accused of engaging in bad-faith actions and tactics that caused unnecessary delay, including extensive and largely meritless pleadings and prolonged discovery. The Board found that both parties significantly over-complicated a simple lien issue, wasting judicial and administrative resources.
