  • 12. Telephone and video conference hearings

    A hearing gives the parties an opportunity to present their case and to answer any questions the Board may have. When an appellant or an interested party cannot attend, a telephone hearing may be requested. Video conferences are available in a few locations. The Board of Referees Assistant will make the necessary arrangements.

    Where it is not possible to arrange for either a telephone or video conference hearing, and in the chairperson's assessment one or more of the parties to the appeal should be heard, the chairperson may, in exceptional circumstances, request that the party or parties attend the hearing at the expense of the Commission.
