Summary:
If the Act were unchanged I would consider BERTRAND as a precedent to be followed. While s. 27 has not been changed, s. 28 now provides that just cause exists where claimant had no reasonable alternative to leaving because of an obligation to care for a child. To be considered also as good cause.

Summary:

Summary:
I consider that there were sufficient extenuating circumstances arising from the cost of expensive childcare and the short period of time elapsing from the interruption of earnings to reduce the present maximum disqualification to 2 weeks.

Summary:
Babysitter available in evenings only, so refused work on day and evening shifts. Claimant's lengthy unemployment is irrelevant. No pattern of evening work. As per BERTRAND, lack of babysitter for day work is not good cause.

Summary:
The Umpire erred in law in saying that babysitting difficulties amounted to good cause, given the conclusion that claimant could not restrict her availability to the extent she had. If not available due to these difficulties, these cannot amount to goodcause. [p._15]
Claimant's failure to find a babysitter despite strong and reasonable efforts to do so could not in law constitute good cause for her refusal to apply for suitable employment within 40(1). [p.15]
