Note | No denial of due process where Blue Cross could've requested continuance to obtain necessary records. | |
Citation | 63 CCC 604 (Writ Denied) | |
WCC Citation | WCC 28031998 CA |
Jurisdiction was reserved over the lien of Blue Cross. Defendant filed a DOR which was served on Blue Cross, and Blue Cross made no objection to the matter going forward. Yet, Blue Cross did not object to the DOR and request additional time to obtain the records and obtain a medical-legal report. Thus Blue Cross waived its right to perform additional discovery by failing to object to the declaration of readiness. The WCAB denied Blue Cross' Petition for Reconsideration and the appellate court denied its Petition for Writ of Review.
