Summary

Defendant sought reconsideration of the WCJ's July 21, 2022 Order Approving Compromise and Release, arguing it should be set aside due to defendant's unilateral mistake; in the alternative, defendant requested the petition be treated as a petition to set aside the C&R and asked for a hearing. The C&R settled injuries to multiple body parts arising from applicant's employment as a shipper/receiver. The Board found the Petition for Reconsideration premature because no record had yet been developed and no decision on the merits of setting aside the C&R had been issued. The Board dismissed the petition and returned the matter to the trial level, recommending the WCJ treat the petition as one to set aside the OACR and set a hearing so defendant could present evidence. After the WCJ issues a decision, any aggrieved party may then timely seek reconsideration.
