Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees  jurisdiction  priority of law 

Summary:

It is difficult in an imperfect world to make law the handmaiden of justice. What our society attempts to achieve is justice, but justice under the rule of law. This is the only way to avoid capricious treatment. Firm principles of law are the best way to get to justice.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
umpires  grounds of appeal  capricious finding  req'd 

Summary:

The Board's decision on availability could have gone either way. Border-line case. Either way might have been a perfectly valid and binding one and would have been unsassailable on review by Umpire. I might very well have decided in claimant's favour.
