Summary:
Claimant signed a power of attorney authorizing his wife to act on his behalf. BOR concluded that the Commission did not question the wife's presumed power of attorney sufficiently and she exceeded her authority. The claimant could not be held responsible for his wife's false representations. Decision overturned by the Umpire. When a person is duly authorized to act on behalf of the claimant, regardless of whether or not the claimant is aware of his representative's actions, he will be held responsible for false or misleading statements given by this person. Reference to CUBs 22309 and 37492.
