Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
courses of instruction or training  benefit period terminated before course started 

Summary:

Claimant refered to a training program, but classes did not commence until 14-11-95 after the benefit period ended on 11-11-95. Umpire concluded that the words "begins attendance" and "is attending" in s. 26(2) of the Act should be given a, large and liberal interpretation whether or not they are in "attendance" or are "attending" in the traditional sense of those terms. **Commission request a judicial review of this case before the Federal Court as the claimant did not attend class before the expiration of her benefit period and the decision cannot remain unchallenged in light of existing jurisprudence.
