LAVINE, J.,
concurring. I concur that the failure to file a timely appeal from the finding and award of the workers’ compensation commissioner (commissioner) to the workers’ compensation review board (board) does not deprive the board of jurisdiction. That question of whether a late appeal from the commissioner was void or merely voidable was decided by our Supreme Court more than eighty years ago in Murphy v. Elms Hotel, 104 Conn. 351, 353, 133 A. 106 (1926), and affirmed under the current form of the statute in Matey v. Estate of Dember, 256 Conn. 456, 744 A.2d 113 (2001).
