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 found that the cost petitioner failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the copy services were done to prove or disprove a contested component of the claim, and that the claim was not contested at the time the services were performed. The WCAB granted reconsideration but deferred final decision pending further review.
