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 defendants did not fully pay treatment and medical-legal expenses within the required timeframes, so increased amounts with interest were ordered; however, no bad faith was found, so no sanctions or costs were imposed; reimbursement of lien filing fee was denied because the awarded amount did not meet the threshold under Labor Code 4903.07.
