CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a decision disallowing Western Imaging Services' (WIS) lien. The Board found WIS was exempt from photocopier registration requirements as it acted as an agent for applicant's attorney, a member of the State Bar. This exemption, under Business and Professions Code Section 22451(b), negates the need for registration and bonding. The case was returned to the trial level for a new decision on the lien's compensability and fee.
