What the panel ordered
Petition for Reconsideration dismissed as premature and matter returned to trial level to be treated as Petition to Set Aside.
Petition for Reconsideration filed by guardian ad litem on February 5, 2025, challenging the September 24, 2014 Joint Order Approving Compromise and Release resolving the underlying claim.
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 petition was dismissed as premature because the Appeals Board had not yet acted within the 60-day period after transmission of the case to the Appeals Board, and the petition should be treated as a Petition to Set Aside at the trial level first.
The facts that decided it
What the panel treated as outcome-determinative, and which side it favoured.
The case was transmitted to the Appeals Board on February 18, 2026, and the 60-day period for the Appeals Board to act ended on April 20, 2026.
Favours Defendant prevailed
This established the deadline for the Appeals Board to act on the petition for reconsideration, making the petition premature when filed earlier.
