Summary

Tony Barriere Interpreting Service, Inc. billed $270 for reading/translating a 12-page Compromise & Release Agreement in Spanish in Van Nuys on 9/23/2022. Defendant Berkshire Hathaway timely objected within 30 days as excessive and paid $185 as the reasonable value. Cost Petitioner submitted a Request for Second Bill Review without supporting market-rate documentation and later filed a Petition for Costs on 1/6/2025 without first serving a 60-day written demand for costs. The WCJ found the partial payment reasonable, the Second Bill Review defective, and the cost petition procedurally deficient, and dismissed it. The WCAB denied reconsideration, adopting and incorporating the WCJ's Report and Recommendation.
