Summary:
At the end of her term of employment, claimant was offered an extension of her contract for a period of one year. Claimant refused and argued that she did not quit but rather that she was unable to negotiate a new contract. Held by Umpire that the claimant's decision not to accept the extension offered simply means that she refused employment - and chose loss of employment, and unemployment instead. Claimant's alternative was to remain employed until she was able to secure other suitable employment. Claimant appeal dismissed.

Summary:
Left after one half-day. It is clear that he would have had good grounds for refusing that job under ss.27(2). However, ss.27(2) is not in issue here. What is in issue is whether he had just cause for leaving by reason of the fact that the working conditions turned out to be unacceptable to him.
