This case concerns a lien claimant's petition for reconsideration after their request for costs and sanctions was denied by the WCJ. The lien claimant argued the defendant engaged in bad-faith tactics by failing to timely pay for interpreter services and object to the invoice. However, the Appeals Board denied reconsideration, finding the defendant's prompt payment after receiving the petition for sanctions demonstrated an intent to pay, not willful bad faith. The defendant's payment of the invoice, including penalties and interest, also mitigated the claim for sanctions under Labor Code section 5813.
