Terms Used In New Hampshire Revised Statutes 282-A:60
- 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.
- 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.
- following: when used by way of reference to any section of these laws, shall mean the section next preceding or following that in which such reference is made, unless some other is expressly designated. See New Hampshire Revised Statutes 21:13
- Fraud: Intentional deception resulting in injury to another.
The second level of appeal shall be to the commissioner. The commissioner may, upon written request of an interested party or upon his own initiative, in any case in which a decision has been rendered, reopen the case on the basis of fraud, mistake, or newly discovered evidence. Such request shall set forth the facts or argument considered to be the basis for the reopening. Any request for reopening shall be received in his office or, if mailed, postmarked within 14 calendar days immediately following the date of the mailing of the appeal tribunal’s decision provided that, if the commissioner finds sufficient grounds to justify or excuse a delay in filing, he may extend the time for filing the appeal. The commissioner shall promptly notify in writing all interested parties of the request for reopening.
