Summary:
Long document filed on behalf of employer at the hearing. Claimant taken by surprise. The Board informed her that she could request an adjournment or appeal later to the Umpire. This was misleading. It was not an option which she could reasonably pursue. Appeals to Umpire are restricted to s. 80.

Summary:
Reliance on a document transmitted to the Board by a former employer on the date of the hearing is totally unfair. The claimant should always be given an opportunity to be aware of the evidence and be provided with sufficient time to attempt to refute its content.

Summary:
