summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
fishing lay days
Summary:

It is urged that there is no proportionality between time worked and time off or between wages earned and hours worked to justify the application of the lay day provision of ss. 42(4) to fishermen on crew share. That argument goes to the fairness of the provision and relates to legislative policy. Ss. 42(4) [now ss. 10(4) of the Act] is generally applicable to claimants under Part IV of the Regulations relating to benefits and, in my view, it is not excepted from application to fishermen by the terms of Part V.
