Summary:
For the exception in section 56.1 of the Regulations to apply, there must be evidence that a workforce reduction process occurred that was initiated by the employer and had as its objective a permanent reduction in the overall number of employees, and that the claimant's leaving resulted in the actual preservation of the employment of a co-worker. The claimant did not leave because his position was abolished, but because he wanted the money he would receive on retirement.
