Summary:
Claimant employed as a fisher between 16-04 to 13-07-99. On 07-09-99, he began a course of instruction on a full time basis. Disentitled for being not available. Claimant is of the view that Reg. 9(6) of the fishing regulation does exempt fishermen from proving availability. Held by Umpire that the purpose of the Regulations is to exempt the fisher from having to be available for other work during the off season because he is ordinarily engaged in the work incidental to his trade. Claimant has not proven that this course is incidental to his work as a fisher.
