The Board of Review affirmed the Appeals Tribunal’s decision. The employer appealed to the chancery court, which vacated the administrative decision due to evidentiary issues and remanded the matter. On remand, the Board of Review considered the evidence in question and reaffirmed its earlier decision. The employer appealed to the chancery court, which affirmed the Board of Review.
