Decision
[1] On January 24, 2013, a panel of the board of referees (“the Board”) determined that the appeal of the Applicant from the previous determination of the Commission should be denied. The Applicant filed an application requesting leave to appeal to the Appeal Division on June 18, 2013.
[2] The Applicant’s application was filed outside of the 30-day time limit. The Applicant explained that she had been outside of Canada for some of this period, and filed her application promptly upon her return. Although this is not a very good explanation for the delay, in light of the disposition below there would be no prejudice to the Commission if an extension of time to file this application was granted. I therefore allow further time within which this application can be made.
[3] I have read and carefully considered the application of the Applicant. Although she discusses her circumstances at length and asks that her application be reconsidered, she has articulated no specific error or ground of appeal that could cause me to overturn the decision of the Board. I therefore turned my mind to the docket to determine if any ground of appeal existed on the face of the record.
[4] Having considered the appeal docket, the written submissions, and the decision of the Board, I find no ground of appeal that would have a reasonable chance of success. In my view, as evidenced by the decision, the Board conducted a proper hearing, weighed the evidence, made findings of fact, established the correct law, and applied the facts to the law.
[5] As it has no reasonable chance of success, this application for leave to appeal must be refused.
