This case involves a lien claimant, California Imaging Solutions (CIS), seeking payment for photocopying services provided to an applicant's attorney. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration, rescinded the prior decision disallowing the lien, and returned the case for further proceedings. The WCAB found sufficient evidence to establish an attorney-client relationship between the applicant and the attorney who requested the services, thereby allowing the services to be considered "on behalf of" the applicant. However, the WCAB remanded the case for a determination on whether a contested claim existed at the time the services were rendered and if they were reasonable and necessary.
