Summary:

BERTRAND quoted. The Board's decision was based on a finding that the self-imposed religious restriction against working on the Sabbath after 7 months on UI was of a nature as to exclude her from the ready labour market in her hometown. I am unable to say that this finding was unreasonable. I took the liberty of mentioning my reservations that these passages in CUB 6639 possibly reflected a much too harsh and draconian concept of the law, which may have contributed to the Board misdirecting itself on the evidence.
