Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
earnings  week of unemployment  earnings 

Summary:

Claimant appeals the Board's decision on the ground that the second decision (that allocating his self-employment earnings) should have been addressed within the context of the first decison (whether he was engaged in self-employment that was not minor in extent). He characterizes the two stage procedure that has been followed as "double jeopardy". Umpire concluded that the two decisions are independent and the Board cannot be faulted for having treated them as such.
