UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE - HEARING AND APPEAL - CASE NO. 2

Now according to the December 23 notice of the availability to copy and inspect, the time to submit a brief or statement would expire on January 12, 2010 (see 3rd paragraph of December 23 notice from earlier blog) and the postscript stated the Claimant could only submit one brief or statement. However, the appeal was made by the Employer and if I prepared a brief or statement, I would want it to be in response to the Employer's brief or statement. After consultation with the Appeal Board, I was advised that the Employer did not request the transcript and that no statement was going to be accepted as the matter was being heard by the Appeal Board based on the existing record and file.
