Decision

[1] On August 23, 2013, the General Division of the Social Security Tribunal determined that the appeal of the Applicant from the previous determination of the Commission should be denied. In due course, the Applicant filed an application requesting leave to appeal to the Appeal Division.

[2] I have read and carefully considered the application of the Applicant. Although he frames his appeal in terms of natural justice and additionally alleges an error of law, the Applicant has simply restated a number of the arguments he raised before the General Division and has not articulated any specific error or ground of appeal that could cause me to overturn the General Division decision. I therefore turned my mind to the docket to determine if any ground of appeal existed on the face of the record.

[3] Having considered the appeal docket, the written submissions, and the decision of the General Division, I find no ground of appeal that would have a reasonable chance of success. In my view, as evidenced by the decision, the General Division conducted a proper hearing, weighed the evidence, made findings of fact, established the correct law, and applied the facts to the law.

[4] As it has no reasonable chance of success, this application for leave to appeal must be refused.

 You are being directed to the most recent version of the statute which may not be the version considered at the time of the judgment.
