Pedro Pelayo — ADJ9730500

Lien claimant Citywide Scanning Services, Inc. provided copy services in the case of applicant Pedro Pelayo and petitioned for reconsideration of a December 14, 2020 Findings and Award in which the WCJ found the reasonable value of the lien to be $1,695.00 and allowed recovery of only $643.99 after credits. Citywide challenged the WCJ's finding that the claim was accepted, the denial of interest and penalties, and the use of a fee schedule not enacted until after the services were rendered. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to study the issues and referred the parties to a commissioners' settlement conference. The parties executed a September 14, 2022 stipulation settling the lien for $2,000.00 as full and final satisfaction, with penalty and interest waived if paid within 30 days. The Board approved the stipulation, rescinded the prior Findings and Award, and commended the parties for resolving the matter.
