Summary:
The issue before the Board was a request to antedate a claim under s. 10(4) of the Act. It allowed a late claim, which had been delayed a few months, on the ground there was good cause to establish an antedate since the claimant was seeking other employment, did not know of the time limit to file an application and was unaware of the requirements of the law. The claimant did not act as a reasonable person in his situation and did nothing to protect his claim for benefits. The Commission appeal is allowed by the Umpire.
