Summary:
The claimant did not qualify for benefits because he was a new entrant or re-entrant to the labour force and was missing some hours of insurable employment. The Umpire concluded that even if the bursary payments the claimant received while at university were earnings within the meaning of paragraph 12(1)(a)(iv) of the EIR, which they are not, the hours represented by such weeks would not "relate to employment in the labour force" and therefore would not fall within section 7(4)(c) of the Act.
