Summary:
Case involving misconduct. After Board of Referees' decision, claimant learned that the Chairperson of the Board was a notary whose services were regularly retained by the employer. Claimant alleged that the appearance of bias vitiated the Board's decision. Appeal allowed by the FCA; the Umpire had incorrectly applied criteria regarding reasonable fear of bias. New hearing required before a differently constituted Board of Referees.
