CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the original decision disallowing a lien claimant's services. The Board found that the attorney requesting the services may have established an attorney-client relationship, even if not formally filed. However, the Board remanded the case for a determination of whether a "contested claim" existed when the services were rendered and if they were reasonable and necessary. The lien claimant's request to disqualify the judge was denied due to procedural deficiencies and lack of evidence.
