Summary:
Claimant argues that the Act is discriminating against students or recent students in relation to other workers. Umpire found that the claimant's disqualification results from her own decision on how to best prepare her future, not from a personal characteristic. Being a student is an activity or a state that one chooses: it does not carry any inherent and permanent quality that would make this a personal characteristic which would have been envisaged by the framers of s. 15 of the Charter.
