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.
Order denying change of venue is interlocutory and not a final order; petition for reconsideration dismissed
From the decision · page 3Here, the WCJ’s decision solely resolves an intermediate procedural or evidentiary issue or issues. The decision does not determine any substantive right or liability and does not determine a threshold issue. Accordingly, it is not a “final” decision and the petition will be dismissed to the extent it seeks reconsideration.
Defendant failed to show good cause for change of venue; failed to specify substance of witness testimony and why travel would be burdensome
