Sec.31-237g-27. Untimely appeal; lack of aggrievement; moot appeal; dismissal

Upon receipt of any appeal over which the Referee determines the Referee does not have jurisdiction due to (1) the untimely filing of the appeal; (2) lack of aggrievement on the part of the appealing party; (3) mootness of the appeal; or (4) any other reason, the Referee shall issue a decision dismissing such appeal unless the Referee determines that a hearing is necessary. The Referee shall conduct a hearing on the timeliness of an appeal if good cause is alleged for the untimely filing, and may schedule a full hearing on all coverable issues and thereafter issue a decision, provided that if the Referee rules that the Referee lacks jurisdiction, the decision shall be limited to the issue of jurisdiction.
