Summary:
The Commission informed the claimant that it could not pay him benefits starting November 2006 because he was engaged in the operation of a business and could not be considered unemployed. A disentitlement and a penalty were imposed. The claimant admitted that he had participated in starting up the company with two other associates, and stated that she used the unemployment benefits to increase the company's working capital". The claimant had an accident at the end of January 2007 followed by a period of illness but during that period, he said he was unwell but could go to the company for short periods of time and do some work. The Commission's appeal is allowed.
