Summary:
The claimant had two jobs in Toronto, one full-time the other part-time. After losing the full-time job, the claimant quit the part-time job with Best Buy and moved to Vancouver to be supported by his family while he looked for employment there. His wife had moved to Vancouver after the claimant lost his full-time job because of their loss of income and the high cost of living in Toronto. The Court said in part: "The Umpire noted that the Board had found that the claimant did not ask Best Buy for more hours of work, nor took up the employer's offer to assist him to obtain employment with Best Buy in Vancouver. The standard of review applicable to a decision of an Umpire is correctness on questions of law and unreasonableness on the application of the law to the facts. Having found that the Umpire committed no error of law in his interpretation of the Act, we are not persuaded that, on the basis of the record, it was unreasonable to conclude that the claimant voluntarily quit his employment with Best Buy."
