Summary:
Boards are not courts bound by the strict rules of evidence and it is well established that they may receive and act on hearsay. I agree that Boards should be cognizant of the weaknesses inherent in hearsay evidence.

Summary:
Case referred back to Board by Umpire. The implication is that it was to the same Board. But direction not specific and no intrinsic reason why one or other. Heard by new Board. Claimant did not raise any objection at the time. No prejudice. Fair hearing.
