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 petition for reconsideration was dismissed because it sought reconsideration of a non-final order taking the matter off calendar, which is not permitted under the law; removal was denied as the applicant failed to demonstrate irreparable harm or significant prejudice; sanctions were imposed on the applicant's attorney for filing a frivolous petition after multiple admonishments.
The facts that decided it
What the panel treated as outcome-determinative, and which side it favoured.
The order taking the matter off calendar was a non-final order and thus not subject to reconsideration.
