Summary:
The claimant indicated that he had two jobs and decided to leave his job with the golf club, the lower-paying of the two, so that he could spend more time on his studies. He was supposed to begin preparing for an exam administered by the Société des actuaires, and he was also taking Indonesian language courses because he was going to Indonesia for several weeks in the late summer. His two jobs did not leave him enough time to study so he decided to quit the lower-paying of the two, his job at the golf course. He indicated that doing so was in his best interest. The Board allowed the claimant's appeal. On appeal from the Board of Referees' decision, the Commission submitted that the Board erred in fact and in law because, according to the undisputed evidence, the claimant left his job at the golf club to spend more time on his studies, a reason that does not constitute just cause within the meaning of the EIA. The appeal is allowed and the Board's decision is rescinded.
