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 granted petitions for reconsideration to further review the subject matter jurisdiction issue, deferring final decision pending further review of the merits and record development.
The facts that decided it
What the panel treated as outcome-determinative, and which side it favoured.
