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 Appeals Board failed to act on the Petition for Reconsideration within 60 days through no fault of the parties, so the time to act was tolled. Applicant's counsel requested withdrawal of the petition as the issue was resolved by agreement. The Board rescinded the prior order and remanded for consideration of the new settlement.
