Private communication between an unemployment law judge assigned to conduct the hearing and one of the parties, in the absence of the other party, is forbidden if it relates to the substance of the matter at issue. Private communication is to be avoided even when it does not relate to the subject matter of the hearing if it would create the appearance of impropriety.
