What the panel ordered
Petition for Reconsideration denied.
Petition for Reconsideration filed by Essential Interpreting was considered and denied by the WCAB panel, adopting and incorporating the WCJ's Report and Opinion on Decision.
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 petitioner failed to establish an agreement for a provisionally certified interpreter and did not comply with the second bill review requirement, leading to denial of additional payment claims.
The facts that decided it
What the panel treated as outcome-determinative, and which side it favoured.
No agreement existed to use a provisionally certified interpreter; the interpreter was presented as certified and defendant did not question certification.
Favours Defendant prevailed
This fact negated petitioner's claim for payment at the market rate for a provisionally certified interpreter.
