Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Aug 16, 2022
Hector Ruiz, Respondent, vs. Dotec Corporation, Appellant, and Division of Employment Security, Respondent.
DOTec Corporation appealed a decision by the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission, which affirmed a ruling that Hector Ruiz was not disqualified for unemployment benefits. DOTec failed to timely file its notice of appeal to the appellate court. The appellate court dismissed the appeal without reaching the merits, holding that it lacked jurisdiction due to the untimely filing and that Rule 81.07 does not provide a mechanism for late appeals in unemployment cases.
