CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded an order dismissing a lien claim for failure to pay an activation fee, and returned the matter for further proceedings. The dismissed lien claimant, Rehab Solutions, argued their lien should not be dismissed because a lien filing fee was paid in 2005 under a former Labor Code section. The Board found evidence suggesting this prior fee payment and noted that a lien activation fee was not required at that time. The trial judge will now determine if Rehab Solutions paid the prior filing fee on behalf of the official lien claimant, North American Distributors.
