Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees  constitution of board  member ineligible 

Summary:

She alleged that the Board was not totally impartial in that 1 member was personally known to her. At the hearing before me no mention was made of the bias issue and I am not going to consider it further. Mere acquaintanceship does not imply bias.


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

Summary:

Resigned. Moved from Whitehorse (pop.: 20,000) to Champagne, Yukon (pop.: 100). Here claimant received 35 weeks. That is a much longer period than has been held to be reasonable in many cases. A period of 12 to 16 weeks has more typically been considered reasonable.
