UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE - HEARING AND APPEAL - CASE NO. 2

The last telephone hearing on the issue of the whether the Employer filed a timely notice of appeal was held on November 23, 2009. Present by telephone was the ALJ taking evidence on behalf of the Board, the Claimant, myself, the Employer (only one of the managers), the Employer's first counsel, the secretary to the Employer's first counsel and the Employer's second counsel. Testimony and cross-examination was this time given by the Employer's first counsel, the secretary to the Employer's first counsel and the Claimant and then the ALJ heard our final arguments. The ALJ also asked me to fax over some cases I referred to in my argument. The ALJ ended the hearing with a statement that the Board within a week would decide whether to accept the Employer's appeal or dismiss the Employer's case.
