# ConsolidatedCase

`ConsolidatedCase` is a data-transfer object in the `SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal.LegalApi` component grouping of `SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal`. It represents a single case-consolidation link — a primary legal case combined with a secondary case for joint handling — exposed to LegalApi consumers.*

## Purpose
- Carries the primary/secondary case identifiers, claim identifiers, and consolidation status needed to describe one case-consolidation relationship to an API consumer.*

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal.LegalApi`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal`

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| LegalCaseId | `Public Property LegalCaseId As Long` | Identifier of the legal case record for this consolidation.* |
| ClaimId | `Public Property ClaimId As Long` | Identifier of the underlying claim.* |
| ClaimNumber | `Public Property ClaimNumber As String` | The claim number displayed to API consumers.* |
| WcbNum | `Public Property WcbNum As String` | The Workers' Compensation Board case number.* |
| ConsolidatedCaseId | `Public Property ConsolidatedCaseId As Long` | Identifier of the consolidation record linking the primary and secondary cases.* |
| PrimaryCaseId | `Public Property PrimaryCaseId As Long` | Identifier of the primary (lead) case in the consolidation.* |
| SecondaryCaseId | `Public Property SecondaryCaseId As Long` | Identifier of the secondary (merged) case in the consolidation.* |
| CaseStatus | `Public Property CaseStatus As String` | Display description of the current status of the case.* |
| CaseStatusCode | `Public Property CaseStatusCode As String` | Code representing the current status of the case.* |
| CreateDate | `Public Property CreateDate As Date` | Date the consolidation record was created.* |
| CreateUser | `Public Property CreateUser As String` | User who created the consolidation record.* |

## Behavioral notes
- This class has no methods or business logic; it is a plain property bag populated by the LegalApi layer for serialization to callers.*

## Constraints and usage notes
- Used as the element type of `ConsolidatedCaseData.Data`; always returned wrapped with a `StatusCode`.*

> **Note:** Statements marked with `*` were inferred from code structure, naming
> conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available
> in source artifacts. Statements marked with `**` could not be confirmed; treat
> as unknown until verified.
