authority to write off |

Summary:
I cannot, in law, waive the repayment. Only the CEIC has such power. I suggest that the UI Act be amended to make someone, such as an Umpire, the decider as to whether one is a proper case for waiving the repayment. Otherwise, the CEIC acts as the collector, prosecutor and judge.

hardship defined |
|
Summary:
Undue hardship does not just mean financial hardship. It is undue hardship at any time when people, through no fault of their own, and in this case over the claimant's warnings, are paid money to which not entitled.
