In denying unemployment compensation benefits to a car salesman who was allegedly fired for calling his boss a liar during a meeting, the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review ”capriciously disregarded relevant evidence” that the employee may have actually been terminated days prior to that meeting taking place, the Commonwealth Court has ruled.

In a published March 22 decision, a three-judge panel of the court ruled 2-1 to vacate the board’s determination and remanded the matter for further consideration of the evidence.
