Terms Used In Alaska Statutes 23.20.320

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • employing unit: means one or more departments or other agencies of the state, a political subdivision of the state, a federally recognized tribe, an individual, or a type of organization, partnership, association, trust, estate, joint trust company, insurance company, or domestic or foreign corporation, or the receiver, referee in bankruptcy, trustee, or successor of one of these, or the legal representative of a deceased person, that has or had one or more individuals performing service for it in the state. See Alaska Statutes 23.20.520
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
  • Fraud: Intentional deception resulting in injury to another.

A determination of the status of an employing unit by the department under Alaska Stat. § 23.20.315 in the absence of appeal, and a final determination of the department upon an appeal, together with the record of the proceeding are admissible in a subsequent proceeding under this chapter. If the determination is supported by substantial evidence and there is no fraud, the determination is conclusive, except as to an error of law, upon an employing unit which is a party to the proceeding.
