WHAT ARE UI BENEFITS? AND WHY WOULD HE BE APPEALING THEM ?
OK I JUST LOOKED IT UP UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS.
HE HAS THE RIGHT TO APPEAL. ONCE HIS APPEALS ARE EXHAUSTED THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY YOU RETROACTIVE FROM THE DAY YOU FILED. SO YOU MIGHT BE IN FOR A LUMP SUM IN THE MEAN TIME TRY TO GET A JOB.

(You are speaking of UI" to mean Unemployment Insurance Benefits?) I am assuming that you were awarded benefits and he appealed the decision of the Unemployment Division. He had a specific amount of time within which to appeal their decision. Now they have (assumedly) scheduled a hearing to hear the matter again, and the employer has postponed the hearing date for whatever the reason (Is that how it went) .
How many times has he postponed it? It cannot go on forever. If the Unemployment Division awarded you benefits they must have felt as though you were entitled to them.
We need further clarification. Is the employer appealing from an Unemployment Insurance determination in your favor? Or is he appealing from another decision from the higher court (The Appeals Tribunal)?
Either way and again, the matter cannot go on forever. You might write to whichever level court is handling the appeal and request an immediate hearing, further informing them of the number of times the matter has been postponed. There are times when matters of law are left hanging so to speak, because the affected party does nothing other than to make a few telephone calls. So put this dilemma on paper.
good luck
(United 919 is correct. You may well be getting back unemployment benefits retroactively.)

Have you sent or delivered to the court the accompanying paperwork? Is your former employer saying you were fired? There is a federally mandated amount of time they have to approve or disapprove your benefits, If you were fired for the wrong reasons(not given written warnings 3 times, cause he didnt like you) then you may qualify. If you are saying you quit and he says you were fired then do you have anything to back up your claim? A copy of a resignation letter perhaps or a check stub saying last check? Remember you can appeal if they say no.

There are specific laws that protect you from that. Unless they have a valid reason for appealing your benefits, you will win and they will be forced to back pay you. If they have a legitimate case, you will be out of luck. I suggest you get another job while the appeal is underway.

Talk to your unemployment office or case worker - the employer has a right to appeal if they have reason but they are not allowed to delay things unnecessarily. Just like if you were charged with a crime, you have a right to a reasonably speedy trial.
