A hearing will take place on December 5 and 6, and
a remand initial determination (a preliminary ruling by a judge) is scheduled for March 22, 2013.
Now that Judge Pender has made
this remand initial determination on the narrow issues the Commission asked him to revisit, the parties can petition for review of that preliminary ruling (they already requested that the Commission review the original initial determination), and unless the Commission now decides to adopt Judge Pender's recommendations as the final ruling, the parties will then get to submit briefing on the issues key to the review.
