The Board has never adopted a categorical rule that an attorney’s conduct can never constitute good cause to excuse a late filing. While an attorney’s erroneous interpretation of the law or misunderstanding of PERB’s regulations does not normally constitute good cause, there is no categorical bar to finding good cause for an attorney’s honest mistakes.
