board of referees  jurisdiction  comments on conduct of hearing 

Summary:

BOR members must refrain from constant interruption, questioning rationale of claimants, attempting to substitute their judgment for that of claimants. Their function is to hear both sides and determine issues. Members are permitted to ask questions to clarify issues. Board members should not embark in vexatious arguments with parties. Arguments which take place after the hearing is terminated are also both improper and unacceptable.
