What the panel ordered
Findings and Order issued by WCJ on November 10, 2022 affirmed; lien claimant takes nothing further
Petition for reconsideration of lien claimant Medland Medical denied, affirming WCJ Findings and Order
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 lien settlement agreement required payment within 30 days of receipt of a valid W9 form, which was a condition precedent to payment. The lien claimant did not provide the W9 form, so the payment was not late and no penalties or interest were owed.
The facts that decided it
What the panel treated as outcome-determinative, and which side it favoured.
The lien settlement agreement required payment within 30 days of receipt of a valid W9 form.
Favours Defendant prevailed
This condition precedent meant payment was not due until the W9 was received, so the payment was not late.
