Decision Appealed Appellant Corresponding Case
Allowed Majority - Returned to the ump  No Commission 


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
reconsideration of claim  overpayment  authority to recover 

Summary:

Umpire found that action for the recover of amounts incorrectly paid, which must be taken according to the strict standards for exceptions stipulated in s. 35 and s. 43 of the Act, was not taken, given the failure to prove that the claimant received the essential notification of the amount of overpayment that she was to repay. FCA cancelled this decision and upheld the principles set out in Brien and Rajotte (A-0425.96, A-0426.96). The case was therefore sent back to another Umpire for a decision, taking for granted that Commission’s decision was consistent with the requirements of s. 43 of the Act.
