Decision
[1] On December 14, 2012, 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 August 30, 2013.
[1] The Applicant’s application was filed outside of the 30-day time limit, as well as the 60-day limit as it existed at the time of his hearing before the Board. The Applicant explains his late appeal by noting that he “felt that my logical explanation in full was not accepted by the board of referees. That’s why I did not consider appealing”.
[2] In my view, this does not offer a coherent explanation as to why the application was filed late. I also note that although the Applicant disagrees at length with the factual findings of the Board, he has articulated no specific error or ground of appeal that could cause me to overturn their decision.
[3] Because the Applicant has not established an arguable case or properly explained the reason for his late appeal, I decline to allow an extension of time to appeal.
[4] As such, this application for leave to appeal must be refused.
