Summary:
Claimant left her job in Winnipeg to be with her fiance elsewhere in Manitoba. She acknowledged that she and her fiance had not been living in a common-law relationship and that they were planning to be married in September of 2002, in excess of 10 months after she left her employment. BOR allowed the claimant's appeal but the Umpire held that the "anticipated marriage" in this case was not anticipated for almost 11 months. This cannot be called imminently. Commission appeal allowed.

Summary:
Claimant left job in April 98 in order to move to live with her fiancé. They planned to marry in December 98. She had been commuting on weekends and holidays for over 11 months. The BOR found that claimant meets the definition of common-law relationship and that the VL was justified. The Umpire refused to interfere. The Commission did not appeal the case to the FCA since the notion of "no other reasonable alternative" was not covered.

Summary:
I understand that it is the Commission's policy to recognize application of para. 28(4)(b) to a relocation prior to a pending marriage so long as the separation from employment takes place in reasonable proximity to the claimant's wedding day. In this case it occurred over 3 months in advance.

Claimant planned to move to a new location to get married in 7 weeks' time. She listed her house for sale but the purchaser insisted on immediate possession. She found it in her interests not to decline the offer. The reasons for leaving were strictly personal and do not constitute just cause.

|
Summary:
The Commission's position has always been that if the marriage is reasonably imminent, just cause for leaving in order to move to a new geographical location will be found. The Commission does not demand that just cause exist only when an individual leaves employment the day after the marriage.
