Summary:
Umpire concluded from tape of the hearing that the BOR member did adopt an accusatorial attitude. His attitude is one that would raise a reasonable apprehension of bias against the claimant, a reasonable apprehension that that BOR member had prejudged the case. This constitutes a breach of natural justice.

Summary:
Claimant left his job because a co-woker shouted and swore at him in demeaning fashion. Umpire concluded that a serious altercation with a co-worker, which has reached the point where physical violence was threatened and which situation the employer did not attempt to damper or mediate, is surely just cause for leaving the workplace.
