summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
week of unemployment taxi drivers
Summary:

Claimant took a taxi driver’s course on a part-time basis from September to November 1992. He did not disclose this information because he had a wife and child, and needed his unemployment insurance benefits. BOR found that as of 15 03-93, the claimant could control his working hours and was therefore not unemployed. FCA found that the claimant’s praiseworthy efforts to take retraining and to support his family did not exempt us from the obligation to apply the UI Act.
