Summary:
Claimant left job in Nova Scotia to live with her boy friend in Windsor, Ont. Disqualified for V.L. without just cause. Appeal not based on the "common law relationship" argument but on Charter and Constitution Act, which guarantee the claimant's rights to move and take up residence, and to pursue the gaining of a livelihood, in any province. The UI Act provides a scheme of insurance for persons who become unemployed, not mobility insurance ruled the Umpire. The Act does not place any barrier nor discriminate against anyone on the basis of provincial residence. Claimant disqualified because she voluntarily left her employment in circumstances in which it cannot be said that she did not have any reasonable alternatives. Appeal summarily dismissed by the FCA.

Summary:
Though I consider it praiseworthy that these beneficiaries wished to work, it remains that the Unemployment Insurance Act was not designed to compensate employees, when their employers are unable to pay their salaries owing to financial problems.

As with any insurance scheme it is incumbent upon the person seeking benefits under the Plan to avoid increasing the risk of unemployment thereby casting the burden of supplying benefits to that person upon all the other contributors to the Plan. Not intended for those who elect not to be employed.

Summary:
The underlying purpose of the Act is to provide a claimant with financial support until such time as she or he is able to find comparable employment. It is my understanding that it is not the purpose of the Act to discourage claimants from seeking part-time work which is precisely the case before us.

Summary:
It is well known that the purpose of the UI regime is to compensate persons who have involuntarily lost their employment. Thus, where persons have left their employment of their own accord or by their own doing, the system is not to be used for their benefit (see GAGNON).

Summary:
The general scheme of the UI Act is to provide insurance through a national pooling of the risks and costs of unemployment. It is argued that the system is first a social security legislation. I accept that the Act cannot be understood and implemented as if it was simply a private insurance scheme.

Summary:
Quoted from ABRAHAMS with approval: Since the overall purpose of the Act is to make benefits available to the unemployed, I would favour a liberal interpretation of the re-entitlement provisions. I think any doubt arising from the difficulties of the language must be resolved in favour of claimant.

Summary:
In approaching the interpretation of the UI Act, generally one must keep in mind the advice of the SC in ABRAHAMS and in HILLS to favour a liberal intepretation. Thus, Courts are urged by the Supreme Court of Canada to support the claims of workers to benefits where the language permits a choice.

Summary:
Claimant asked why she was not entitled to UI after having contributed over more than 9 years. Claimants often share this misunderstanding. One contributes and one is entitled only in accord with the statute which generally supports those who, through no fault of their own, are unemployed.

Summary:
This is particularly so in light of GAGNON where the Supreme Court said that where two interpretations of provisions of the UI Act are possible, the worker must be given the benefit of the doubt, taking into account that the purpose of the Act is to compensate workers who are involuntarily unemployed.

Summary:
The aim of the Act has always been to create a social insurance plan to compensate unemployed workers for loss of income from their employment and to provide them with economic and social security for a time, thus assisting them in returning to the labour market.
The aim of the UI Act is to compensate temporarily persons intent on remaining in the active labour force but who are at some point unable to find employment.

Summary:
Since the overall purpose of the Act is to make benefits available to the unemployed, I would favour a liberal interpretation of the re-entitlement labour dispute provisions. I think that any doubt arising from the language of the statute should be given to the claimant. [p._13]

Summary:
This statute is even more difficult than most modern complicated statutes to comprehend. It is replete with special concepts created for the purpose of the statute. Its general scheme is almost completely obscured by being buried in detailed provisions.
