All Contested Case Subject
Jurisdiction

In General
  • The case was properly dismissed for lack of justiciable controversy, where WCD could not issue a binding decision regarding claimant's possible liability for medical services. Gonzalez, Juvenal, 15 CCHR 39 (2010).

  • The case was properly dismissed for lack of "justiciable" controversy, where the appeal was limited to challenging a statement in WCD's order that was outside the scope of the case. Gonzales, Juvenal*, 15 CCHR 1 (2010).

  • The director had jurisdiction to abate the administrative order, before the order became final by operation of law. Fonseca-Domingues Antonio, 14 CCHR 193 (2009).

  • The director did not err in dismissing claimant's request for administrative review regarding interim medical benefits where no evidence existed that claimant had a health benefit plan and no evidence existed that the director had jurisdiction to consider the matter since the denial was unappealed. Monroe, Jimmy D, 13 CCHR 101 (2008).

  • The character of the issues raised in the order does not change simply because the issues have been appealed to the WCB for review. Flower, Michael L, 12 CCHR 264 (2007).
