Summary:
Claimant was faced with a choice, work for 6 more months in a job which he knew would no longer exist or voluntarily leave 6 months early and accept a cash-out payment. He chose the latter. Although he may have had good reasons for doing so, they cannotbe said to constitute just cause. See TANGUAY.
