CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration, affirming the WCJ's nunc pro tunc order. This order amended the original Compromise and Release to include a finding that a good faith dispute existed regarding the injury AOE/COE, which was necessary to extinguish liability for a Supplemental Job Displacement (SJDB) voucher. The Board found that the WCJ intended to settle the SJDB voucher claim at the time of the original order but failed to explicitly record this finding. Therefore, the nunc pro tunc order corrected a clerical omission to reflect the court's prior decision, rather than altering the substance of the original judgment.
