Questão jurídica principal
Whether Dr. U. had to be recused from the AI medical expertise because of prior involvement in the case
Decisão extraída
No formal ground for recusal was shown; prior participation and criticism of the earlier report did not create an objective appearance of bias.
Fundamentação extraída
The earlier shortcomings of the 2006 report were material deficiencies in the evidence, not a formal reason showing the expert's impartiality was compromised. Nothing showed that Dr. U. had already prejudged the insured's current condition in a way that would predetermine the new assessment.
