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.
Sanctions imposed because petitions were filed to delay proceedings and were indisputably without merit.
From the decision · page 1We previously granted removal in these matters on our own motion to provide an opportunity to study and address the issues of sanctions and costs under Lab. Code, § 5813.
