06-30-11 JUDITH A. MESSICK VS. BOARD OF REVIEW, ET AL. A-3849-09T2
Internal appeals to the Board of Review from Appeal Tribunal determinations on unemployment compensation claims are plenary and de novo. The Board of Review is empowered to make new findings of fact, and may conduct new evidentiary proceedings.
Appeals from the Board of Review to the Appellate Division are governed by the substantial evidence rule and the principle of deference to the Board of Review's subject matter expertise.
