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.
Record not properly developed on whether collateral estoppel applies to prior WCJ finding that medications were reasonable and necessary; reconsideration granted to allow further study of legal issues
From the decision · page 5Although we have preliminarily considered the Petition for Reconsideration, the WCJ’s Report, and the record in this matter, we are not persuaded that the record is properly developed on one or more of the above issues, including the issue of whether the doctrine of collateral estoppel applies to the WCJ’s finding and order of October 15, 2024.
