Appeal to Umpire
A Board's decision may be appealed on three grounds:
- the Board failed to observe a principle of natural justice or otherwise acted beyond or refused to exercise its jurisdiction;
- the Board erred in law in making its decision; or
- the Board based its decision on an erroneous finding of fact which it made in a perverse or capricious manner or without regard for the material before it.
