AN APPEAL FROM A WORKERS’ COMPENSATION DECISION WHICH IS INTERLOCUTORY IN NATURE MUST BE DISMISSED; THE DECISION MAY BE REVIEWED IN AN APPEAL FROM THE FINAL DETERMINATION (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department held that the Workers’ Compensation Board decision was interlocutory in nature and could only be considered in an appeal from the final determination:

“In order to avoid piecemeal review of workers’ compensation cases, a Board decision that is interlocutory in nature and does not dispose of all substantive issues nor reach legal threshold issues that may be determinative of the claim is not the proper subject of an appeal” … . “As none of the arguments raised on this appeal address potentially dispositive threshold legal questions, and ‘the nonfinal decision may be reviewed upon an appeal from the Board’s final determination, this appeal must be dismissed'” … . Matter of Polizzano v Medline Indus., 2022 NY Slip Op 04604, Third Dept 7-14-22

Practice Point: A decision from the Workers’ Compensation Board which does not reach issues that may be determinative of the claim is interlocutory in nature and will not be considered on appeal. However, the interlocutory decision may be reviewed in an appeal from the final determination.
