Summary:
In granting the claimant's request to testify without the presence of the employer – an interested party in this case – the Board failed to observe a principle of natural justice. The employer was thus deprived of the legitimate opportunity to be able to respond to this testimony and was never informed of the content of the testimony, which contradicted the employer's position, until the Board's decision.
