Cost petitioner LRA Interpreters, Inc. sought reconsideration of a WCJ's June 12, 2025 Findings and Order (amended June 19, 2025) which found that interpreter services for the June 7, 2023 reading of the C&R fell under AD Rule 9795.3(b)(2) and were adequately compensated, that the June 6, 2023 deposition preparation services fell under 9795.3(b)(2) rather than the deposition-related provision, that cost petitioner failed to establish market rate, that the interpreter's certification was insufficient, and that the billing was satisfied. The WCAB panel granted reconsideration on a preliminary basis, finding it could not discern from the record whether the relevant considerations (certification type, qualification, market rate, and the correct fee category) had been adequately addressed. The Board deferred issuance of a final decision pending further review of the merits and the entire record. The panel also addressed the timeliness of its action under amended Labor Code section 5909, confirming it acted within 60 days of case transmission.
