UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE - HEARING AND APPEAL - CASE NO. 2

During the first hearing on the timeliness of the Employer's Request To Appeal, the Employers' Counsel testified and attempted to introduce documents which were not in my possession. It appeared to me that the Employers' Counsel was acting as witness and attorney - which raised issues under Rule 3.7 of the Rules of Professional Conduct. The hearing was short; it was agreed that the Employers' Counsel would fax me some documents, and the hearing was adjourned for 5 days.
