Section 424. Whenever an appeal shall be based upon an alleged error of law, it shall be the duty of the board to grant a hearing thereon. The board shall fix a time and place for such hearing, and shall serve notice thereof on all parties in interest.
As soon as may be after such hearing, the board shall either sustain or reverse the referee's award or disallowance of compensation, or make such modification thereof as it shall deem proper.
Compiler's Note: Section 31 of Act 57 of 1996 provided that, in a provision of Act 338 of 1915 not affected by Act 57, a reference to the word "referee" shall be deemed a reference to the phrase "workers' compensation judge."
