Arkansas Code Title 11. Labor and Industrial Relations § 11-10-528. Precedence of decisions

(a) The final decisions of the Board of Review or of an appeal tribunal, and the principles of law declared by it in arriving at the decisions, unless expressly or impliedly overruled by a later decision of the board or by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be binding upon the Director of the Division of Workforce Services and any examiner or appeal tribunal in subsequent proceedings which involve similar questions of law.

(c) If the question thus certified to the board arises in connection with a claim for benefits, the board in its discretion may remove to itself the entire proceedings on the claim. After proceeding in accordance with the requirements of §§ 11-10-523 -- 11-10-530 with respect to proceedings before an appeal tribunal, the board shall render its decision upon the entire claim.

(d) Any decision made under this section after removal of the proceeding upon a claim to the board shall have the effect of a decision under § 11-10-525 and shall be subject to judicial review within the same time and to the same extent.
