Summary:
The Umpire took the view that ss. 41(10) was covered by the Board's jurisdiction to review Commission's decisions. It is a view not borne out by a proper reading since its opinion [the Commission's] shall prevail. Clearly rejected by DESJARDINS.
Ss. 41(10) can be resorted to to cure the effect of a belated claim. I am of the opinion, however, that it was not its purpose. The power conferred is that of waiving, not to reinstate a right already lost. Applies to groups of cases.
