Summary:
The claimant admitted that during the period relevant to his appeal, his intention had been to build up his legal practice as a self-employed worker, and that he had not sought other employment. On the other hand, he stated that he would have accepted any good job offered to him, but confirmed that after he opened his law office, he concentrated on finding clients. He submitted that the Employment Insurance system should provide temporary assistance to people during the difficult period while they were establishing self-employment, as in his case.
