Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees  jurisdiction  binding judgments 

Summary:

The CEIC may decide not to appeal a particular decision of one Board for reasons having little to do with the merits of the decision but that does not commit the CEIC to following in all cases the decision of that Board. A previous decision of one Boardhere is not determinative. One Board is not bound by the decision of another but they are all bound by decisions of Umpires. Boards and Umpires are bound by decisions of the Federal Court. As a result, even if one Board decides one way, another may hold that the jurisprudence requires different decisions.
