WORKERS' COMPENSATION COURT CASES

Dostal v. Uninsured Employers' Fund [12/04/12] 2012 MTWCC 45 Since the UEF clearly did not set its copying fees based on the cost of material and time expended pursuant to § 39-71-205(1), MCA, the Court rejected the UEF’s argument that the Court should so hold.  The UEF may charge a “reasonable amount” for photocopying claims files.  The Court looked to the fees charged by local copy shops who make their services available to the public in determining a “reasonable amount.”
