Summary:
The claimant had made a considerable financial commitment (more than $1000) in returning to university, which tends to show a desire to attend university rather than to find employment or to accept employment if it were offered to him. Upheld by FC.

Summary:
Granted he was only attending classes for 8 to 10 hours a week, but this precluded him from holding down a regular 9 to 5 job. As well, when one considers that a student is expected to put in at least 1 study hour for each class hour his schedule would reach from 16 to 20 hours. Upheld by FC.

Summary:
The fact that claimant says he would have quit university if suitable employment had been offered and that he had never refused any (because none was offered) is not evidence of a person actively seeking work, but more of one seeking not to be disentitled to UI. Upheld by FC.
