Summary:
The BOR was entitled to make findings of fact on the basis of all the evidence and in doing so, it obviously discounted the documentary evidence submitted by the applicant in favour of his earlier statements to the Commission.

Summary:
Claimant criticized the Umpire for substituting himself for the BOR in assessing the facts. Criticism not warranted according to the FCA. BOR's decision very terse because it was based solely on the claimant's testimony at the hearing and completely ignored other evidence in the record. BOR could not dismiss this evidence without grounds and its failure to give an explanation was an error that entitled the Umpire to settle the dispute in fact and in law.

Summary:
If a negative inference is to be drawn from the fact that claimant has produced no documentary evidence to support his explanation, this has to be done in the context of assessing what kind of documentary evidence he could reasonably be expected to produce. If none exists, not proper to require it.
