Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, Appellee Below-Appellant v. Tammy R. Williams, Appellant Below-Appellee, And…

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware reversed the Superior Court and reinstated the Board's decision refusing to hear Williams's untimely appeal. Because the Board resolved the matter solely on procedural untimeliness, the Superior Court should not have reached the merits of Williams's benefit claim. The Supreme Court held that the Board did not abuse its discretion because the late filing was not caused by administrative error.
