# clsRequestIssue

`clsRequestIssue` carries request-issue row data used by LegalNet's workers' compensation legal-case workflows, exposing the identifiers, codes, dates, names, flags, and helper operations needed to represent one request-issue row in application code.*

## Purpose

Use this type when code needs one request-issue row rather than a collection. Depending on the source implementation, the class can act as a DTO, a data-portal business object, or a small retrieval/persistence helper around that request-issue row.*

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal.LegalNet`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal`
