recent panel decisions - sneak preview |
Each week we report a few recent panel decisions that we're considering for the LexisNexis® services:
NOTE: This free eNewsletter reports only a handful of panel decisions each month. If you want notification of all 40 to 65 noteworthy panel decisions added each month to the Lexis database, please consider purchasing our new panel decisions reporter (see box below).
Exclusion of Penalty Claims From Stipulations. Applicant did not meet burden of proving that he "expressly excluded" his accrued penalty claims for delay in providing medical treatment from terms of stipulations under which defendant agreed to authorize medical treatment with certain providers within 10 days, when language in stipulations stating that "[a]ll other issues are specifi[ic]ally reserved and remain as before" was insufficient to satisfy LC 5814(c) requirement for exclusion of penalty claims and, therefore, applicant's accrued penalty claims were conclusively presumed to have been resolved by stipulations. See Sharma panel decision.
Compromise and Release Agreements; Validity Upon Self-Insured Employer's Bankruptcy. Compromise and Release agreement executed by self-insured employer after employer filed for bankruptcy was not invalidated by automatic stay that occurs upon filing for bankruptcy and prevents employer from paying settlement, as order approving compromise and release would remain a valid obligation of defendant, albeit payable by Self-Insurers Security Fund under LC 3743(a). See Flanagan panel decision.
