Petition for Reconsideration granted; prior decision rescinded and matter returned to WCJ for further proceedings
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 prior Award was not signed by defendant, constituting a legal error requiring rescission and further proceedings.
From the decision · page 1We have considered the allegations of the Petition for Reconsideration and the contents of the report of the workers' compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) with respect thereto. Defendant contends that the Stipulations and Award at issue were not signed by defendant, and so that the Award that issued on June 15, 2022 is not valid because it was based on a legal error. The WCJ recommended that we rescind the Award and return the matter for further proceedings. Accordingly, as requested by the WCJ, we grant reconsideration, rescind the WCJ's decision, and return this matter to the WCJ for further proceedings and decision. This is not a final decision on the merits of any issues raised in the petition and any aggrieved person may timely seek reconsideration of the WCJ's new decision.
