Summary:
Umpire ruled that when claimant's counsel files an appeal, but for administrative reasons the Notice of appeal is either not delivered by a third party - in this case Canada Post- or reaches and is lost at the Commission's premises which is another possibility not discounted in this case, that the law cannot be so vigorously enforced as to deny a person the right to claim special reasons under the Act. Such reasons are not in the control of the claimant or even the Commission and should not adversly affect the claimant.
