Summary:
Claimant received $26,245 as ex gratia payment upon termination. Termination did not result from misconduct or anything of that nature but rather from mutual incompatibility. Umpire characterized it as a "nuisance payment" and allowed the claimant's appeal. Commission appealed to the FCA.**NOTE: The Commission concluded that the Umpire erred in fact and in law when he found that the moneys paid as ex gratia were not earnings. Claimant failed to submit any evidence to support his allegation that the ex gratia payment was payable for a reason unrelated to the loss of his employment.
