Summary:
The insured has the opportunity to explain himself before the Board, to refer to simple mistakes or errors in calculation, not to prove that he is not guilty but to contradict conclusions in fact. If these explanations raise reasonable doubt, the penalty must be cancelled.
False or erroneous statements do not raise presumption of guilt but impose an obligation on the part of the claimant to provide some explanation failing which CEIC is entitled to declare them made knowingly simply because of the fact that they are false.
