Summary:
The Commission in its appeal submitted that the Board of Referees erred in law and on the facts when they determined that the claimant was engaged in legitimate business activity outside of her normal work for the school and had ignorantly become involved in a scheme of abusing government funds for personal profit. The Umpire is satisfied that the claimant has been found guilty of a criminal offence arising out of the secret commission in the abuse of government funds for personal profit is sufficient to show misconduct as her act was shown to be illegal and the Board ignored that fact when they considered their decision. The appeal of the Commission is allowed and the decision of the Board set aside.
