Evidence: Generally

Marquardt v. Liberty [7/12/01] 2001 MTWCC 39 Parties are not precluded from presenting evidence in workers' compensation court which was not presented at mediation.

Miller v. State Fund [9/20/00] 2000 MTWCC 63 Claimant's motion in limine to exclude evidence of fraud at trial was not proper where claimant, in essence, sought to strike an affirmative defense but had not moved for partial summary judgment or to strike. The motion to exclude was also denied because no agreement to drop fraud defense arose from communications to Clerk of Court by counsel.

Davis v. State Compensation Insurance Fund, 2000 MTWCC 58 Insurer’s failure to offer evidence at trial proving that it did notify insured of statutory change in reporting requirement was not grounds to allow post-trial introduction of new evidence.

Matthews v. State Fund [2/4/99] 1999 MTWCC 13 affirmed in Matthews v. State Fund, 1999 MT 225 No medical evidence supports claimant's theory of conversion disorder. His arguments are based on references within some medical records to possibilities for consideration, not upon objective medical conclusions. Claim denied.
