Decision Appealed Appellant Corresponding Case
Dismissed Unanimous  No N/A  21822 


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees  special reasons  cross-appeal 

Summary:

We would comment that, in cases such as CUB 21932, where a party without benefit of counsel effectively wants to cross-appeal in the course of an appeal by the CEIC, it would be appropriate for Umpires to utilize their power under s. 82 to extend the time for filing an appeal to make that possible.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
basic concepts  disqualification  length  powers 

Summary:

In the circumstances, we want to leave open the question of an Umpire's jurisdiction over the merits of a disqualification on an issue as to quantum.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
umpires  grounds of appeal  capricious finding  req'd 

Summary:

The Umpire was not justified in interfering with the findings of fact reached by the Board without finding that its decision was perverse. He gave no reason for arriving at such a conclusion of perversity. The Umpire was wrong in substituting the Board's view of the facts for his own.
