Summary:
Claimant owned 33 1/3% of the shares in a horticultural greenhouse. Business received a farm loan of $120,000 and a job creation subsidy of $85,000. The shareholders had to prove that they could make this business their principal means of livelihood in order to obtain this funding. The BOR decided that the claimant was operating a business on his own account, that he controlled his own hours of work and that he spent enough time on his business. Decision upheld by the Umpire and confirmed by the FCA, except for a short period conceded by the Commission.
