Summary:
Case law quoted. Appeal moot because any elements of concrete dispute or live controversy in relation to issues requiring resolution have disappeared, and those issues are not of sufficient public importance to warrant the exercise of any discretion to deal with purely hypothetical questions.

Summary:
Claimant wants a decision in his case even though the overpayment is now statute-barred. I consider that no useful purpose would be served by stating a legal opinion in a matter which is now largely academic and hypothetical by reason that there is no arguable legal issue outstanding.

Summary:
It is not the proper business of Umpires any more than it is of courts to make declaratory pronouncements or render advisory opinions in appeals which no longer raise arguable issues entailing the resolution of the parties' rights. This appeal should have been withdrawn.
