CompFox AI Summary

This case concerns whether Reshealth Medical Group's lien is subject to a stay under Labor Code section 4615 due to the criminal indictment of Eric Schames. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) rescinded the prior finding that the lien was stayed, finding insufficient evidence that Schames controlled Reshealth Medical Group as an officer, director, or 10% shareholder. The Board determined the defendant failed to meet its burden of proof and returned the case for further proceedings to clarify Schames' affiliation and the application of the "controlled entity" definition.
