Summary:
Ceased work 6-85. Interruption of earnings in 10-86. Claim filed in 5-87. Umpire's decision quashed: the qualifying period was the 52 weeks preceding 17-5-87 rather than 26-10-86. The new ground for extension added on 5-4-87 is applicable to the qualifying period.
Assuming that the qualifying period ended in 10-86, as the Umpire wrongly assumed, that period could not have been extended under new ss. 7(3) effective 5-4-87, as it could not affect the length of a qualifying period already expired.

Summary:
As pointed out by the Commission's representative, Parliament did not choose to give s.31(1.2) retroactive application and the conclusion must be that s.31(1.2) specifically changes the law as reflected in the jurisprudence from the effective date of the new provision only.

Summary:
Benefit period established in 2-86 and terminated 9-86. The Umpire used ss. 7(2) enacted 4-87 to allow an extension of the qualifying period prior to 2-86. The Umpire erred in law in finding that 7(2) had retrospective effect.

Summary:
Earlier termination of the benefit period under the amended clause does not apply to claimant and termination under the former clause has been revoked. Under the Interpretation Act, the privilege he was enjoying continues but not any longer than as it existed before. [p.9-11]
The new provisions provide for termination of the benefit period when claimant attains 65 and the statute clearly assumes this event will be in the future. This did not apply to claimant having attained 65 prior to the amendment date. [p._8]
