- Reconsideration (consideration of evidence)
In Decision No. 1825/11, the Vice-Chair found that the plaintiff in a civil case was a worker at the time of an accident and not an executive officer and that, accordingly, his right of action was taken away. The plaintiff applied for reconsideration of Decision No. 1825/11.
The Vice-Chair considered the evidence and came to a reasonable conclusion. The plaintiff referred to a number of decisions finding that persons may be recognized as executive officers even when they do not have the job title referred to in Board policy or when that role has not been formally documented in corporate records. The Vice-Chair distinguished those decisions as involving small, family-controlled businesses in which it might be more understandable that formal corporate records are not maintained.The application to reconsider was denied.
