week of unemployment  principal means of livelihood 

Summary:

While it is commendable for a person to endeavour to improve his lot in life by engaging in a business on his own, he is not entitled to support that business by resorting to the public purse in the form of UI while a business grows to become income producing and sufficiently so to enable the self-employed person to eventually rely on the business itself.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
week of unemployment  incomes 

Summary:

The fact the business does not enable a person to become self-supporting in its initial stages does not negate the obligation to declare his interest in such a business and, as a result, to become disentitled to the receipt of insurance benefits.
