Source	`pk80005_assignment.employer_conflict_check`

BR-PKG2-002 Adjuster conflict blocks assignment¶

Field	Value
Statement	An attorney with an active conflict tied to the case's assigned adjuster cannot be assigned.

Enforcement	`pk80005_assignment.alj_conflict_check`, called from `assignIt`/`assignItBalanced`.
Outcome	`alj_result` is incremented; blocks assignment and records result code `NAALJ`.
Source	`pk80005_assignment.alj_conflict_check`

BR-PKG2-004 Opposing-representation conflict always checked¶

Field	Value
Statement	An attorney who already represents the worker's side on a case can never be assigned to represent the employer/SAIF side on that same case, regardless of any other flag settings.
Trigger	The candidate's `atty_provider_location_seq_num` matches the claimant's worker-attorney firm location on the case; this check runs unconditionally with no enabling flag.
Enforcement	`pk80005_assignment.attorney_conflict_check`, called unconditionally from `assignIt`/`assignItBalanced`.
Outcome	`attorney_result` is incremented; blocks assignment and records result code `NAATT`.
Source	`pk80005_assignment.attorney_conflict_check`

BR-PKG2-005 Rotation duty blocks off-rotation assignment¶

Field	Value
Statement	An attorney on out-of-town rotation duty for a different location cannot be assigned to a hearing at another location during their rotation window.

Trigger	`calendar_flag` is `Y`, `H`, or `C` and the candidate has an overlapping `SET`/`RESET` schedule row at a different ALJ or hearing location.
Enforcement	`pk80005_assignment.calendar_conflict_check`, called from `assignIt`/`assignItBalanced`.
Outcome	`calendar_result` is incremented; blocks assignment and records result code `NAC`.
Source	`pk80005_assignment.calendar_conflict_check`

BR-PKG2-007 Long-leave blackout window blocks assignment¶

Field	Value
Statement	An attorney cannot be assigned to a hearing that falls within the blackout window surrounding one of their leave periods of more than 4 days (3 days before through 1 day after).
Trigger	`calendar_flag` is `Y`, `H`, or `C`, `in_code = 'Y'`, and today falls in the computed blackout window around a qualifying `LEAVE` entry in `attorney_schedule`.
Enforcement	`pk80005_assignment.vacation_conflict_check`, called from `assignIt`/`assignItBalanced`.
Outcome	`vacation_result` is incremented; blocks assignment and records result code `NAVAC`.
Source	`pk80005_assignment.vacation_conflict_check`

BR-PKG2-008 Location conflict blocks assignment¶

Field	Value

Enforcement	`pk80005_assignment.location_conflict_check`, called from `assignIt`/`assignItBalanced`.
Outcome	`location_result` is incremented; blocks assignment and records result code `NALCC`.
Source	`pk80005_assignment.location_conflict_check`

BR-PKG2-009 Weekly caseload floor exempts low-load attorneys¶

Field	Value
Statement	Attorneys below their target hearing-day count for the week remain eligible for assignment even when the weekly caseload check is enabled.
Trigger	`weekly_case_load > 0` and `get_hearing_days` for the attorney is below a load-percent-derived minimum (1 day if `in_load_percent < 34`, 2 days if `< 67`).
Enforcement	Load threshold logic inside `pk80005_assignment.assignIt`/`assignItBalanced`, using `get_hearing_days`.
Outcome	`load_result` is reset to 0, so result code `LOAD` is not recorded and the load check does not block assignment.
Source	`pk80005_assignment.assignIt`

BR-PKG2-010 Holiday-shifted hearing date is flagged but non-blocking¶

Field	Value
Statement	A hearing date that falls on a non-work day is recorded as a holiday result but does not by itself prevent assignment.
Trigger	`sp72353_next_work_day(schedule_date) <> schedule_date`.
Enforcement	Holiday check inside `pk80005_assignment.assignIt`/`assignItBalanced`.
Outcome	`holiday_result` is incremented and, if the case is otherwise not assigned, result code `NAHOL` is recorded, but the holiday result is excluded from the pass/fail sum in the observed logic.*
Source	`pk80005_assignment.assignIt`

BR-PKG2-011 Successful assignment updates case status¶

Field	Value
Statement	When every gated conflict check clears, the case is assigned, the schedule is updated, and the case status is advanced.
Trigger	All gated conflict-check results (employer, adjuster, ALJ, rotation, calendar, vacation, location, load) sum to zero for the candidate attorney.
Enforcement	`pk80005_assignment.assignIt`/`assignItBalanced`, calling `insert_results`, `updateSchedule`, and `Pk80001_Legalnet.updatecasestatus`.
Outcome	Result code `CA` is recorded, the `schedule` row is updated with the assigned attorney, and the case status is set to `ASSGN`.
Source	`pk80005_assignment.assignIt`

BR-PKG2-012 Assignment-result codes distinguish success from every blocking reason¶

Field	Value
Statement	Each assignment attempt is recorded with a specific result code identifying either success or exactly which rule blocked the attempt.
Trigger	Every call to `assignIt`/`assignItBalanced` for a candidate attorney.
Enforcement	`pk80005_assignment.insert_results`, called with codes `CA`/`CAC` (success) or `NAEMP`, `NAADJ`, `NAALJ`, `NAATT`, `NAROT`, `NAC`, `NAVAC`, `NAHOL`, `LOAD`, `NALCC` (blocking reasons).
Outcome	Downstream cursors (`get_results`, `get_assign_results`, `get_assign_list`) filter/interpret rows using these codes to distinguish assigned vs. not-assigned cases.
Source	`pk80005_assignment.get_results`

BR-PKG3-001 Letter request update expects a single affected row¶

Field	Value
Statement	After calling `UpdateLetterRequest`, `clsLetterRequest.AfterUpdate` checks that exactly one row was affected by the update.*
Trigger	Saving a `clsLetterRequest` object (letter marked as printed).
Enforcement	`clsLetterRequest.AfterUpdate` in `Print\clsLetterRequest.vb`.*
Outcome	A rows-affected count other than 1 indicates the letter-request sequence number did not match exactly one row; calling code handling implies an error/exception path.*
Source	`Print\clsLetterRequest.vb`

BR-PKG3-002 Printed date defaults by letter type before update¶

Field	Value
Statement	For `RDISC` letters, `_printedDate` is set to the file-create date; for `DEFLT` letters, `_printedDate` is set to today's date, before `UpdateLetterRequest` is called to persist the printed date.*
Trigger	`PostFill()` runs after a `clsLetterRequest` is retrieved (`SelectLetter`), based on the letter's `LetterTypeCode`.
Enforcement	`clsLetterRequest.PostFill` in `Print\clsLetterRequest.vb`.*
Outcome	The value ultimately written via `inPrintedDate` depends on letter type rather than always reflecting the actual print time.*
Source	`Print\clsLetterRequest.vb`

BR-PKG3-003 Worker information is scoped to a single legal case¶

Field	Value
Statement	`GetWorkerInfo` is always invoked with a single `in_legalCaseSeq` value (`MyCriteria.LegalCaseSeqNum`) and is expected to return worker/claim data for that one legal case.*
Trigger	`clsLetterRequest.PostFill` calls `GetWorkerInfo()` after the letter request is filled.
Enforcement	`clsLetterRequest.GetWorkerInfo` (private) in `Print\clsLetterRequest.vb`.*
Outcome	Merge fields such as claimant name, claim number, and injury date are populated per-legal-case for the letter being printed.*
Source	`Print\clsLetterRequest.vb`

Notes¶

Rule enforcement locations and outcomes are read directly from <RuleData> attribute registrations and their surrounding validation methods.
Rules in the pk80001_legalnet, pk80005_assignment, and pk82289_legalnet_letters sections above are derived from real retrieved Oracle PL/SQL source (see Procedures) rather than from <RuleData> attributes; the pk82289_legalnet_letters rule statements are additionally marked * because only that package's specification (no body) was retrieved.

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.
