Barta v. Hinds , 1998 ND 104, 578 N.W.2d 553

Dietrich v. ND Workers Comp. Bureau , 1997 ND 198, 575 N.W.2d 224

Feist v. ND Workers Comp. Bureau , 1997 ND 177, 569 N.W.2d 1
The administrative law judge's decision in this case was a recommendation and was not a final order. NDCC 28-32-13(3) authorizes, but does not require, the Workers Compensation Bureau to adopt rules for review of a hearing officer's recommendation. If an administrative agency rejects a hearing officer's recommendation, it must explain its rationale for not following the recommendation. Because AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (3rd ed.) was the edition in existence when NDCC 65-05-12 was amended and reenacted in 1989, the Bureau properly applied it when the claimant's impairment was evaluated in 1994. The Bureau was authorized to combine the impairment ratings for the claimant's lumbar and cervical impairments.
Hanson v. Hanson , 1997 ND 151, 567 N.W.2d 216

Bauch v. Bauch , 1997 ND 89, 563 N.W.2d 108
In an action for an accounting, the post-trial appointment of a master to clarify an incomplete record did not deprive the parties of a fair trial or due process. The trial court's accounting was not clearly erroneous.
Tormaschy v. Tormaschy , 1997 ND 2, 559 N.W.2d 813
In quiet-title actions, for trial of the issue of waiver, the issue must be specifically pled, pursuant to Rule 8(c), N.D.R.Civ.P.
Richter, ex rel. Christensen v. Jacobson , 553 N.W.2d 792 (N.D. 1996)
The child support guidelines require income to be imputed to incarcerated persons.
Walton v. ND Dept. of Human Services , 552 N.W.2d 336 (N.D. 1996)
The hearing and review procedure for a finding of probable cause of child abuse under Chapter 50-25.1, N.D.C.C., is a 'contested case' under Section 28-32-01(4), N.D.C.C., and the Department of Human Services bears the burden of proof.
To support a finding of probable cause of child abuse under Chapter 50.25.1, N.D.C.C., there must be evidence of serious physical harm or traumatic abuse, evidenced by negative changes in the child's health resulting from infliction of physical or mental injury.
The court erred in awarding attorney's fees for the proceedings at the administrative level, because attorney's fees under Section 28-32-21.1(1), N.D.C.C., are authorized only for those proceedings necessitated by the Department's unjustified actions.
