04/29/2008		REMANDED Upon review of the record and the briefs of the parties, a procedural question arises. An order of the administrative law judge states that certain of petnr's exhibits were identified but not admitted as evidence. Given that the unemployment compensation statute is remedial in nature, and is construed accordingly, we have discouraged strict and technical application of procedural rules to the conduct of hearings, particularly if a party is unrepresented by counsel. Because part of the hearing in this case was not transcribed, we cannot know the context surrounding the question of petnr's exhibits, which were marked for identification but not admitted into evidence; without expressing a view as to the outcome in the matter, we remand the case and the record so that the question of whether petnr was given a meaningful opportunity to present evidence at the hearing may be resolved consistent with this order.
