"Did the Appellate Court properly determine that the failure to file an appeal from a decision of the workers' compensation commissioner within the time con- straints set forth in General Statutes § 31-301 (a) does not deprive the workers' compensation review board of jurisdiction?"
The Supreme Court docket number is SC 18412.
