Meeks v. Department of Employment Security

The plaintiff, Charles Meeks, appeals from an order of the circuit court of Cook County which on administrative review affirmed the Board of Review of the Illinois Department of Employment Security’s (hereáfter Board’s) denial of plaintiff’s application for unemployment benefits. On appeal the plaintiff contends that the circuit court erred in affirming the Board’s decision because it was based on inadmissible hearsay evidence and because plaintiff’s conduct did not constitute misconduct pursuant to section 602(A) of the Unemployment Insurance Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1989, ch. 48, par. 432(A)).
