State Fund v. Pardis [05/10/06] 2006 MTWCC 21 Appeals to

Ross
v. State Fund [2/28/96] 1996 MTWCC 2 Section 39-71-1018, MCA
(1987) provided for appeal from the department's final order in a rehabilitation
matter to the WCC. While the WCC may not substitute its judgment for
that of the agency as to the weight of the evidence (section 2-4-704(2),
MCA), where the case was submitted to the hearing officer on exhibits,
depositions and briefs, the WCC was not required to defer to the hearing
officer's determination of facts and was in as good a position as the
department to review the evidence. |
