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.
Discovery order is interlocutory and not a final order; reconsideration only proper from final orders
From the decision · page 3Turning to the issues in this matter, SIBTF seeks reconsideration of a discovery order, which is not a final order. A petition for reconsideration may properly be taken only from a “final” order, decision, or award.
No substantial prejudice or irreparable harm shown; SIBTF may seek reconsideration after final decision
