Court Filings

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court vacated part of the Commonwealth Court's order that had sustained a preliminary objection to Christopher Rogalski's request for a writ of mandamus to remove disciplinary information from Department of Education websites. The Supreme Court directed the Commonwealth Court to reconsider that preliminary objection in light of its recent decision in T.G.A. v. Department of Education, 348 A.3d 1043 (Pa. 2025). All other parts of the Commonwealth Court's order were affirmed, and jurisdiction over the case was relinquished.

The Ohio Supreme Court reversed the Tenth District and issued a limited writ directing the Industrial Commission to vacate its order and reconsider whether a nine-month Columbus City Schools speech therapist, who elected stretch pay but was not scheduled to work over the summer, was eligible for temporary-total-disability (TTD) benefits during the 2022 summer recess. The Court held the Commission failed to properly apply R.C. 4123.56(F), which requires assessment of whether an employee’s inability to work or wage loss is the direct result of an impairment from an allowed injury or instead the direct result of reasons unrelated to that injury. The case was remanded for the Commission to apply R.C. 4123.56(F) and determine eligibility.
