Appeal

A legal process in which a party seeks to overturn a decision. If an employer or employee is not satisfied with a decision made by a member of the commission, they may choose to appeal it.

To succeed in an appeal a party must establish that the decision maker made an error (applied an incorrect principle of law) or made a finding of fact or facts that could not be supported by evidence. It is important to note that there is a specific time frame for the appeal process.
