UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE - HEARING AND APPEAL - REQUEST FOR HEARING - CASE NO. 3

It is now November 18, 2010: the day of the hearing. I arrive early to review the file and confirm that I have all the documents involved. I also listen to the tape recording of the first hearing. If you recall, in order to expedite the appeal, I did not request a transcript so this was the first time I actually got to review what happened at the first hearing. It revealed that the hearing was attended by the Employer, the Claimant and a friend of the Claimant and that the issue of Claimant's mental condition was never discussed. The hearing concentrated on the issue of when Claimant received the Notice of Adverse Determination and when Claimant sent out a Request For Hearing.
