Case Details
Successfully argued before the Minnesota Supreme Court in Angela Hawley v. City of Blaine and League of Minnesota Cities, resulting in the dismissal of the employer/insurer’s appeal as moot. This upheld the Workers’ Compensation Court of Appeals decision that a Workers’ Compensation Judge does not have subject matter jurisdiction to decide a discovery motion before proceedings have commenced.
Additional Notes
The outcome means an employer cannot compel an employee to attend an invasive psychological examination before admitting liability or the employee initiating a proceeding. The firm won at the Office of Administrative Hearings and the WCCA prior to this Supreme Court decision.
