ORDER

Respondents have filed a Petition for Review from the trial commissioner’s September 15, 2003 Order imposing a fine pursuant to Secs. 31-288 and 31-300 for non-appearance at a duly noticed hearing. The order was issued as a result of an informal hearing, no transcript or exhibits exist. Thus, there is no record for this board to properly consider this appeal under Sec. 31-301. The matter is therefore remanded to the trial commissioner acting for the Sixth District for a formal hearing or other appropriate action. See Pantanella v. Enfield Ford, 4720 CRB-1-03-9 (September 18, 2003); Mace v. Tradesource, Inc., 4664 CRB-6-03-5 (May 14, 2003); Mele v. Hartford, 4453 CRB-1-01-9 (November 30, 2001); Rizor v. International Ice Cream Corp., 4206 CRB-1-00-3 (May 24, 2000).
