• Becka v. Ohio Unemployment Comp. Review Comm., (Ohio 2002)

Pursuant to R.C. 4141.28, the appellate process for unemployment cases does not involve the hybrid review and de novo proceeding found in other R.C. Chapter 119 appeals. An unemployment compensation appeal provides the least opportunity for a reviewing court to weigh and assess evidence and credibility of witnesses of any R.C. Chapter 119 administrative proceeding. Our standard of review is to determine if it is unlawful, unreasonable, or against the manifest weight of the evidence. We are precluded from assessing witness credibility as that is the function of the hearing officer.
