\"NorthNorth Carolina Industrial Commission (NCIC) Form 44<\/a> is the Application for Review. \u00a0This form must be completed by either a defendant or plaintiff who wishes to appeal a decision by the Deputy Commissioner<\/a> of the NCIC. \u00a0The first step for the appellant should be to send a letter of intent to appeal to the NCIC. The NCIC will then supply the appellant with Form 44. \u00a0The reasons for the appeal must be specifically defined on the form. \u00a0Any issues not addressed on the form will be considered abandoned, and the appellant cannot argue those issues in front of the full commission.\u00a0 As a result, it is important to cover all potential issues when completing the form.<\/p>\n

The appellant will have 25 days from the date the transcript is received from the NCIC to file Form 44. \u00a0When contesting errors on the transcript, it is important to cite the specific error, preferably citing the page on which the error occurs. Along with Form 44, the appellant should submit a brief in support of the challenge, not to exceed 35 pages in length. If a brief is not submitted to the NCIC, the party will not be allowed oral arguments before the full commission. \u00a0Three copies of Form 44 and the brief, if included, must be submitted to the NCIC with a copy sent to the appellee.\u00a0 The appellee will have 25 days from service of the appellant\u2019s brief to submit a response brief.\u00a0 As with the appellant, if the appellee does not submit a brief the party will not be allowed to provide oral arguments to the full commission.\u00a0 The appellee will provide three copies of any response to the NCIC with a copy served on the appellant.\u00a0 It is important to note that during the appeal process, no new evidence will be heard, unless the Commission decides to make an allowance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
