Practice question
A CTA Division replaces its original ruling with an amended decision reversing the outcome. The aggrieved party had previously moved against the original ruling but does not timely seek reconsideration or new trial of the amended decision. It claims the earlier motion permanently satisfies review requirements for every later ruling. What does Script2010 establish?
- An amended decision can never become final
- Every earlier motion indefinitely preserves every future appeal
- Only the original ruling can ever be challenged
- An amended decision is a different decision requiring its own timely review step; the prior motion does not automatically prevent finality
- A late extension request always revives the case
