Outcome
The Commonwealth Court vacated the UCBR's denial of unemployment benefits and remanded, holding that the UCBR improperly decided the case under section 402(b) (voluntary quit) when the referee had decided it under section 402(e) (willful misconduct), prejudicing the claimant by shifting the burden of proof without notice.
