Summary:
I agree with CUB 16160 that Umpires have a tendency to allow an out of date appeal without special reasons because all parties are present but I do not believe this to be sufficient. Parliament included s.82 for a reason. If not enforced, the whole purpose becomes meaningless.

Summary:
Appeal filed more than 5 months after Board's decision. Claimant realized she did not appeal within 60 days. The deadline passed as she was unaware of this rule and was busy trying to find work. I am satisfied that the appeal was not filed on time due to her negligence.
