Universal Citation: WY Code of Rules 6-3

Current through September 21, 2024

If the Division requests that the matter be resolved as a small claims hearing, the Notice of Referral shall include the following notice:

(a) The Division determines that the amount at issue is less than $2,000 and does not involve an issue of the compensability of the injury. The Division therefore requests that the matter be resolved as a small claims hearing as provided in W.S. § 27-14-602(b)(i).

(b) The purpose of a small claims hearing is to provide expedited review by a hearing examiner. In a small claims hearing, the Division will not pay a claimant's attorney, nor will the Office of the Attorney General represent the Division.

(c) If any party objects to a small claims hearing request within 15 days of the notice, the hearing examiner will decide whether a small claims hearing or a contested case hearing is appropriate.
