Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees  jurisdiction  evidence new 

Summary:

The function of a Board is to decide on the evidence before it, not just on the evidence before the Commission: CUB 10546.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees  weight of statements  contradictory 

Summary:

This is no more than a rule of thumb at best and I have expressed reservations concerning it on other occasions. There is no hard and fast rule that a statement made before disentitlement is entitled to more credence than one made for explanation or clarification.
