Summary:
On his application for benefits the claimant indicated he had quit his job because he was dealing with personal issues at home. The employer stated that the claimant was to be dismissed but chose to resign, therefore the code was changed. The claimant who was described as a "computer design" had downloaded some child pornography on his computer. He was eventually charged under the Criminal Code. He claimed he was innocent and that he had downloaded the material by accident. He chose to quit rather than be fired, as he understood the employer's reasons and did not want a dismissal on his record.
The appeal is dismissed
