Last night I decided to brew up a batch but something important came up after my mash was done and couldnt continue untill about 10-15 hours later would leaving the Wort unboiled this long cause problems or should I just start all over again

Go ahead and just boil it. Anything that got in there should get boiled off so it should be fine.

I wouldn't worry. I have done the same thing before. The only problem that arose was that my beer finished a couple points lower, probably because the enzymes were still active while the wort cooled.

+1 Agreed. It should be alright since you are boiling. Good Luck hope it goes well.

I agree that the boil will kill whatever is in there, but taste it first just to make sure it didn't sour already. If the wort still tastes like it should, but all means use it.

Probably a little late, but definitely taste and smell first. If it tastes bad before the boil, it's not going to get better.
