§ 3. Mr. Lawasked the Minister of National Insurance whether an insured person who appeals against an insurance officer's decision not to grant unemployment benefit is entitled to legal representation when appearing before a court of referees, in order to ensure that every aspect of a case is presented to the court.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsThe court of referees regulations allow the insured person to be represented at hearings before the court but not by counsel or solicitor. This has always been the practice.
