Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  courses  disentitlement not automatic 

Summary:

It is clear that the Board applied the wrong test. It is not merely cases in which one has shown a pattern of work coincident with a full-time course which satisfies s.14. The test is always the overring consideration of whether the particular claimant was in fact available.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  courses  presumption 

Summary:

A person is not automatically unavailable because he is attending a full-time course. A strong presumption, however, arises that this is the case. That presumption can be rebutted. Primary factors: one's intention and whether he would leave the course if work were found.
