Summary:
Beneficiary leaves to look after and arrange for the sale of his father's business, because his father is incurably ill. Departure not justified. We cannot suggest that s. 28(4)(e) of the Act can be interpreted to mean something other than the administration of personal care. Erroneous interpretation of Act by board of appeal.

Summary:
Ongoing jurisprudence developed since the FCA decision in Tanguay (A-1458-84) requires that any grounds found pursuant to s. 28(4) be subjected to the following task: was departure the only reasonable solution? Beneficiary did not request leave of absence.
