CompFox AI Summary

Defendant sought reconsideration of a Findings, Award, and Order (F,A&O) issued by a WCJ on June 26, 2025, which set aside an earlier August 16, 2024 Award approving stipulations and found applicant owed permanent disability benefits. Defendant contended the stipulations were not based on mutual mistake and challenged a Notice of Intent (NIT) to issue sanctions. The Appeals Board, having timely acted on the petition, determined that the F,A&O was a final order subject to reconsideration but applied the removal standard because defendant was challenging only an interlocutory finding. Finding no significant prejudice or irreparable harm and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy, the Appeals Board denied the petition.
