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 did not include an attorney's fee provision as it was completed without applicant's counsel participation; reconsideration was granted to allow a new Award based on stipulations with counsel participation.
