Appeals (To Workers' Compensation Court): Issues Considered

Williams Insulation Co. v. DLI/UEF [6/7/02] 2002 MTWCC 33 Issues raised on appeal will not be considered where the appellant fails to cite any authority supporting the issue raised. Garcia v. Uninsured Employer's Fund, 1999 MT 35, ¶ 13, 996 P.2d 882.

Kastella v. Plum Creek Timber Company [09/13/95] 1995 MTWCC 54A Where notice of appeal and appellant’s brief clearly argued error of law in order below, decision based on hearing officer’s erroneous application of statute was within scope of appeal.

Montgomery v. Department of Labor and Industry [06/15/95] 1995 MTWCC 47 Appeal from order of Department of Labor and Industry dismissed where appellant raised no issue of benefits under the Workers’ Compensation or Occupational Disease Acts before the Department, but rather requested reclassification as a regular and not temporary employee of state agency, evidently for use in pursuing other claims.
