What the panel ordered

Petition for reconsideration filed by lien claimant Supreme Copy Service seeking review of the December 5, 2025 Findings of Fact and Order regarding reimbursement of medical-legal copy service charges and statutory interest.
This docket was decided more than once. Shown here is the latest released decision; we also hold August 1, 2025.
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 WCJ did not award statutory increase and interest on partially paid invoices due to lack of evidence on compliance with dispute resolution protocol; the WCAB deferred the issue for further record development.
From the decision · page 9Because the record does not contain evidence responsive to the parties' respective burdens of proof under section 4622, we are persuaded that the issue of whether statutory increase and interest attaches to the outstanding amount of the partially paid invoices must be deferred, pending development of the record.
