What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The Board found no jurisdiction over the lien because an express contract fixed the amounts to be paid for the services, removing Board jurisdiction under Labor Code 5304.
