§ 52-06-10 — Determinations in labor dispute cases

Whenever any claim for benefits under the North Dakota unemployment compensation law
involves the application of the provisions of subsection 4 of section 52-06-02, the examiner
handling the claim, if so directed by the bureau, shall transmit such claim promptly to the
appeals referee for the purpose of making a determination upon the issues involved under that
section or upon such claim. The appeals referee shall make the determination on the claim after
such investigation as the appeals referee deems necessary and after affording the parties
entitled to notice an opportunity for a fair hearing in accordance with the provisions of the North
Dakota unemployment compensation law with respect to hearings and determinations of the
appeal tribunals. The parties must be notified promptly of the determination, together with the
reasons therefor, in the event of the denial of the claim. Such determination must be deemed to
be the final decision on the claim, unless within seven days of the mailing of the notice to a
party's last-known address, or in the absence of such mailing, within ten days after the delivery
of such notice, an appeal is filed with the bureau.
