Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees  issue not recognized  error by board 

Summary:

Antedate denied by Board because claimant was not available for work. It is trite law that what a Board or Umpire must deal with is the decision that the Commission made, not that which it might or should have made. Availability had nothing at all to do with antedating.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
antedate  good cause  test to apply 

Summary:

The Umpire said that good cause consists of circumstances beyond control. That mis-states the law. Not part of judicial function to formulate general rules that will inhibit a finding of good cause. As stated in GAUTHIER, good cause may include a reasonable, conscious delay.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:

Summary:

Antedate denied by Board because claimant was not available for work. It is trite law that what a Board or Umpire must deal with is the decision that the Commission made, not that which it might or should have made. Availability had nothing at all to do with antedating.
