Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  health reasons 

Summary:

Medical evidence of serious allergic reactions. Whether or not there were other reasons which reinforced his decision to leave, it is obvious from the nature of those allergies he could not reasonably continue until he found other work.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  restrictions  reasonable period of time 

Summary:

The jurisprudence and s.27 allow a claimant a reasonable period of time to limit his job search to the vicinity where he lives and to usual occupation. A limitation for a period of 6 weeks was not unreasonable.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  courses  disentitlement not automatic 

Summary:

Ss.26(1) does not define exhaustively the circumstances in which one may attend a course and still be available. It only gives one example. Here, a 3-week course not related to usual work and very small tuition are not such as to make claimant not available.
