Thompson v. Workers' Compensation Appeal Bd., PICS Case No. 17-1352 (Pa. Commw. Aug. 16, 2017) Brobson, J. (9 pages).

Board's affirmance of WCJ's modification of claimant's benefits was reversed to the extent that it modified claimant's workers' compensation benefits from full to partial because under Protz v. Worker's Compensation Appeal Bd., 161 A.3d 827, §306(a.2) was stricken and thus, no provision of the act allowed for modification of benefits based on an IRE. Reversed.

Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. v. Cook, PICS Case No 17-1300. (3 Cir. Aug. 9, 2017) Fisher, J. (24 pages).

District Court properly found that appellant's facial challenges and its as–applied Fourth Amendment challenge to Delaware's escheats law were unripe but erred in finding that appellant's procedural due process claim was not justiciable because the claim satisfied all three 'Step-Saver' prongs. Affirmed in part and reversed in part.
