Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
refusal of work  reasonable period of time 

Summary:

Not defined in Act, but in practice may be on order of a few weeks perhaps running to several weeks after loss of employment.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  incompatible situations  leave requested 

Summary:

Leave to complete studies and look for something else. I am of the opinion that in such a situation the UI fund becomes a sort of bursary, which has been consistently condemned in the case law; cannot be used to finance temporary leave.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  restrictions  type of work 

Summary:

Seeking employment for which one is not qualified amounts to imposing unreasonably restrictive conditions.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
umpires  grounds of appeal  capricious finding  req'd 

Summary:

Tribunal composed of Umpire not appellate court in traditional sense; rather, court supervising decisions of board. Umpire must not substitute his opinion for that of board.
