We have also posted an AGREEMENT OF FINAL COMPROMISE AND SETTLEMENT in Rich Text Format (RTF) which can be modified as necessary in most word processing applications (e.g. MS Word or WordPerfect). Both forms are posted to our
Forms & Instructions webpage (link) and are effective immediately. | Note that when an objection to a subpoena for the release of medical records is filed by a claimant, the Duty Commissioner will issue an order requiring the production of the medical records, within a certain number of days, to said Duty Commissioner for an in-camera inspection and decision. After reviewing the produced records, the Commissioner will issue an Order as to whether or not the medicals are relevant and discoverable. This information has been added to the MD WCC Subpoena Instructions, Policies/Procedures posted to our
