RESPONDENTS-APPELLANTS

ORDER

Respondents have filed a Petition for Review from the trial commissioner’s August 20, 2009 Order pursuant to Sec. 31-294d. The order was issued subsequent to an informal hearing. Respondents’ appeal is premature as no record exists for consideration by this board under Sec. 31-301a. The appeal is therefore remanded to the trial commissioner for a formal hearing or other appropriate action. See Lugo v. DRS Fermont, 5469 CRB-4-09-6 (June 19, 2009) and Fear v. Land-O-Lakes/Egg Express, 5433 CRB-2-09-2 (May 4, 2009).
