31-380b in Subsec. Appeal does not open the case for trial de novo. The commissioner's finding is part of the record and may be corrected by the superior court in the same manner as the finding of a trial court by the supreme court. Nature of the appeal and correction of finding by superior court fully reviewed. There is no appeal from refusal of commissioner to rehear the case or alter his finding.
Conclusion of fact based on subordinate facts is reviewable by the court.
If the court materially alters the finding, it should recommit it to the commissioner to decide on the altered facts. Where the facts found are too indefinite to support the award, finding should be recommitted to commissioner. What justifies setting award aside. Court should not set aside award because it differs with the commissioner as to preponderance of evidence. Reasons of appeal and answer thereto should be filed in the court.
